It was hard to believe how technically far ahead it was, especially on the Spectrum. That's the bit that they've never replicated since. I'd still love another go at it, but I'm not sure that the game play would be there to make it a time sink for me now.Bollockoff wrote:As a whippersnapper, should Elite excite me? In the same way Claudia Cardinale would excite me with the proper nostalgia?
