sawylA deeply miserable morning, with strong winds and driving rain. Prompted by a chance comment someone had made last week, I downloaded a Spectrum emulator and fired up a copy of Elite. After a few hours of careful trading and the prompt purchase of a docking computer, I'd made enough to upgrade to a military laser & an energy unit and ground my way up to competent with a right on commander.
I was pleased to find that Elite — in small doses at least! — is still as much fun as ever and I don't seem to have lost my knack for it. When I get back to Exeter, I think I'm going see if I can make anything of the Archimedes version in emulation and take another look at Oolite — both look like they're well worth exploring.
