I believe I first played Elite back on my IBM XT machine....a whopping 12MhZ cpu, EGA graphics, 1 meg of ram and a 30meg hd

Was a simple wire frame space sim, totally open ended sandbox. Docking was way more challenging in Elite.....the stations were rotating for gravity so you docked at the hub and had to carefully match the rotation. Good times

Privateer was ok but didn't seem as free and open as Elite was and Evochron now is. Liking this game a lot, been spending a lot of time experimenting and exploring so far.

Thanks for all the replies, see you one of these days
