- jere 14y agoYou know what? You're absolutely right. I had a vague sense that this was once a popular game, but didn't understand how so. >Elite is one of the most popularly requested games to be remade,[42] with some arguing that it is still the best example of the genre to date, with more recent titles—including its sequel—not rising up to the same level. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game) Still, it seems criminally lazy to put such little effort into asking for $2 million.

- primitur 14y agoElite was such a popular game that its still being implemented on the old 8-bit systems by dedicated fans, just for the love of doing it (and also for the love of old hardware): http://1337.defence-force.org/ http://1337.defence-force.org/
