Re: [LUG] Im very sad: OT



Oh the Joys of Elite, and Dragons.

I spent hours coding assembler on the Dragon 32. I still say the 6809E
was a better processor than the Z80 in the spectrum.

I however bought a spectrum in the main for the joy of Elite.

I got to Extremely Deadly, and Found the Cloaking Device. Shame no one
has put there mind to recreating a game like Elite...

Oh Oh Whats this on Sourceforge.net

Vegastrike, a 3D Elite type game using OpenGL. IF i could only get it to
run, but it doesn't want to play even with the latest GLUT3.7 Libraries
compiled into RedHat 9.0

If anyone has got this game running please tell me how you did it

Thanks Rick

Hah hah hah!

I've still got a BBC Model B Micro with a tape drive.  If I had room
to set it up, I'd consider getting a floppy drive for it, and maybe the
floppy disk version of 'Elite'.
Elite runs pretty well under linux.

Elite, wow i spent the age of 9 to 11 engrossed in Elite. 'Docking Stations'
'Military lasers' 'Critters invading the screen'. Got to 'deadly' and then
ran a cheat to get to Elite status (would have taken another couple of
years!)
