Thanks mate, sooo many memories flooding back
Is it just me or are the old classics better than a lot of modern games?

It might just be nostalgia...it might be that we placed more importance on game play back then

Its not nostalgia, I been playing the old xcom a lot more than the shoddy new one with which i was bored of after around 10hrs play.
"Good games are like a bottle of wine, They are well sought after and mature with age". In my opinion.
Here's something cool to see. Chris Roberts has dropped his coin into the fray. Fair play to the man for backing Frontier and DB.

Will it have that famous classical piece playing as you 'try' to dock in your space station? (so famous I can't remember the name of it
It's The Blue Danube, you philistine.

It's dropped right off. Only to be expected with such minimal content on the page though. I really hope they have some good stuff to go up. No way it'll make £1.25m otherwise.

Seems like a bit of a rash move putting the kickstarter up so soon without enough information, perhaps as a reaction to the star citizens appeal, I hope that it has not killed the chances of success because I think there is plenty of room in the market for games in this genre.
As much as I've come to dislike notch, he has backed it as well apparently.

A much bigger proportion of the budget was gameplay coding/creation. You didn't need massive departments just to create artwork and do graphics coding.
But, but, people on the first couple of pages of the thread said it didn't need any promotion apart from the name...

The name is enough to draw in the old elite diehards but joe public wants to see flashy screenshots and videos!
I think we've hit a point now where most of the diehards have already signed up and it's hit a brick wall

It's nothing to do with the lack of content. The KS got a huge rush of pledges because the BBC news website ran an article about it. Now the article is off the front page it's fallen back to typical pledging levels.
I am really stuck on the fence on this, star citizen looks really promising aside from the military aspect of it at the start but i guess you have to fly somewhere.
As for ELITE a amazing game like the majority of us over 40, its the game that sucked many of us into this lifelong hobby. I say over 40 not everyone could afford the price of the BBC at that time or if they could the parents couldnt understand it (sorry Mum
)
The downer for me is the DEV and DEV team. He has created nothing but rubbish since ELITE(s) imo. As for bringing it into line for 2012 lets hope its more complex then buying narcotics and selling them on for %150 profit.
Thargoids FTW.
