Elite/Oolite
Posted: 06 Jan 2006, 00:23
Elite was a great space game from the days of the BBC Micro and the Speccy. Nasty wireframes, but I spent days on it, killing Thargoids and trading in Narcotics.
Some years later, in the early 90s, it was ported to DOS in the form of Elite Frontier. The wireframes were still crappy, and Narcotics were still the best way to get rich quick.
Oolite is a freeware port of Elite for Linux and Mac OSX. They've finally filled in the wireframes with proper graphics. Time to stock up on Narcotics...
