The #AmstradCPC was known as the #SchneiderCPC in German-speaking countries, in the 1980s. #Elite retailed for DM 69.90 in 1986, which was approximately £20. The game and documentation were all translated into German, #TheDarkWheel novella becoming Das Dunkle Rad 😎 There were over 30 key assignments to remember on #Elite, unheard of in 1980s games, but which actually soon became familiar to the pilot. Players of #SpectrumElite on the (in)famous rubber-keyed machine, however, could use the keyboard overlay provided with the game package. Is it a coincidence that my two favourite games of all time - #FrontierFirstEncounters and #Cyberpunk2077 - have strong sandbox elements in them? Carry out the missions, by all means, but also spend hours and hours just roaming around, exploring and enjoying yourself. Perfect! If you're still enduring a heatwave where you live, I can recommend relaxing, and enjoying a glass or two of Pure Cold Crater Juice. If you've never played #FrontierElite2 this may confuse you though! The Ship Identification Chart included with non-Acornsoft versions of 8-bit #Elite in the 1980s. Boulders, asteroids, missiles and cargo barrels somehow got included, but fortunately you could still shoot these like the other ships. The space stations were invulnerable, sadly 🙁 Acorn User magazine took a novel approach in its December 1991 appraisal of #ArcElite. Two opposing views were provided; one for and one against the game. Perhaps the fairest thing to say is that - amazing as #ArcElite was - by the 1990s, the world was ready for #FrontierElite2. Despite a few graphical glitches and planets that resemble snooker balls, #glFrontier is a great update to #FrontierElite2 with much-improved visuals; here is the intro sequence. Game modified from the #AtariST code by Tom Morton. Music (c) Dave Lowe. https://tinyurl.com/glFE2 I've no idea whether such an elaborate rotation system would work in Real Life™, in terms of generating "gravity" aboard the space station, but the concept in #FrontierFirstEncounters is an amazing one. Best not to look out of the window while eating your lunch though! 🤢
