Ahh windows I'm afraid, though I briefly had FE2 on an Amiga...

Or do you mean the original elite? That was on atari St with such other amazing classics as Millennium 2.2, new Zealand story, Xenon, Hunter, Turbo Cup, Defender of the Crown... I could go on...

Some of you won't get it, some of you will

The thing I miss most about the good ole days is just how little traffic there was then. 

Being able to drink a gallon of ale and still be able to walk straight and still have money left over.

My motorbikes and how I could loone everywhere lol.

There's more but they've already been stated above.

What a damn good thread this is. A proper one that brings a smile and snigger.

Good call Nik

Nope the Original Elite was designed on a BBC Micro Model B 32K with developers expansion tools it was then ported to other machines,

I used to know David Braben - very clever programmer his machine code maths was mind blowing!

Does anyone else remember Outer Spacers - the space station round ones in yellow packet version (Mango Chutney flavour) - they were truly amazing i wish they would bring em back.

As for sweets - some of them are back checkout this site:-
