I believe that I have the longest-lived still-played savegame, of possibly any game. I started playing Elite in 1985, and my savegame has survived to this day.

I believe that I have the longest-lived still-played savegame, of possibly any game. I started playing Elite in 1985, and my savegame has survived to this day. I transferred it from the original 5¼" disk to a disk image a few years ago, and occasionally still load it up under emulation. I am indeed rated "Elite", although I was very disappointed to learn that only kills are tracked to determine this rating. I had hoped that trading, distance travelled, or galaxies jumped would help as well, but it doesn't.
