Front end repair?

You tried docking with a Coriolis without using an autodocking system? :) ( , Thu 9 Apr 2009, 11:27, archived) ( , Thu 9 Apr 2009, 11:27,

I never got to play Elite, but I played the Elite-a-like, Hardwar, which was excellent. Sold it though, and your post's nostalgically making me try and find it so I can buy a copy on the internet! ( , Thu 9 Apr 2009, 22:58, archived) ( , Thu 9 Apr 2009, 22:58,

Try ooLite

developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3577



Open source port of elite - based on the BBC B source code that either David Braben or Ian Bell let out into the public domain a few years ago - but with a few additions. Very cool - very playable.

You're kidding, right??

Someone has ported Elite to the Mac??? I LOVED this game when I was a kid, but as I didn't have a Beeb or a Speccy, like my mates, I couldn't play it on my own.



I had a VIC-20... :(



If this works on my Mac Pro this evening (still at work and reading B3TA) I will cry with joy!



Oh, and an excellent original post. I was so nerdy about my Cobra, I called mine 'Ghostlight', which has been my geek handle ever since. My 'pilot' was called Cartalus Atrox, a derivative of Crotalus Atrox, latin name for a pit viper. I was sticking with the snakey theme. Wipes away nostalgic tear...
