  • Calling all 8-Bit Elite fans

    If (like me) you've been living under a rock - you'll have missed the astounding news that David Braben (co-creator of the original Elite space trading / combat sim) has opened a Kickstarter venture - to remake Elite for today's computers - called Elite: Dangerous.

    There's less than 2 days to get on the bandwagon and fund this Magnum Opus - and -0 if the developer diaries and media hoopla anre anything to go by - it'll be worth it. If you want this gem to be kept alive - hop on over to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...lite-dangerous and make a pledge - there's links to the Frontier website also so you can read more.

    PS - I'm nothing to do with either Kickstarter or Frontier Developments - I'm just an Elite nut that REALLY wants to see this get off the ground!
    Their light of pocket torch, of signal flare,
    Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
    While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
    Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.

    I backed that already. I don't think it'll make it all the way.

    I'm guessing the people making it will pledge the difference they fall short on.

        I'm genuinely surprised it made it. About a week before Christmas I looked at how much it had to make per day and it exceeded £30 thousand. That's crazy money.
