I bought the game last week and I have been remembering my old Acorn Electron days playing that game (I think it was around Christmas 1984?) until I found out there was a Galactic Warp bug, which was remedied by a nice revision on tape no less. Still imagining the game again on the C64 with shaded graphics and docking music with Tribbles all over the screen, was great fun. Roll on 2015 and we have real-time multi-player gaming and the same (well not really) ship we played (dare I say it) 31 years ago. Its freaking awesome and my AMD A10 laptop plays it very well. I also sprung for voice attack and the game pack that adds voice commands to the game. So how many of you are taking up the challenge to become Elite again, and what are your thoughts of the game so far? What gear have you bought, and will it beat Star Citizen? :o |

The Electron? Elite? This is my sort of thread! I didn't get Elite Dangerous primarily as I don't have a PC capable of running it. It was almost enough to force me into a long-overdue upgrade though. It still might. I did feel it needed to move on from what Elite was a bit more though - the walk around the planet surface additions planned is more what I'm thinking. It does look incredible - how my imagination filled in all the wireframe graphics on the Electron... The multiplayer would also mean I'd get killed in seconds by a 12 year old in a darkened room - I could just about cope with a computer controlled Python ship. |

@ark Did you purchase it on Steam? Its out on Steam now. I was set up to play it in my basement, but changed things around so I haven't played it lately. I've seen lots of posts on the facebook from people that play on a laptop. My PC was getting long in the teeth and it played well on it. They did a good job of a scalable experience that many users can enjoy. |

I think I just may need to pull the triiger on it! |

Nobody is playing it because they are too busy working on their setups to play it. |
