> There were only 150,000 or so BBC Micros in the world at that point, so the ratio was almost 1:1, one copy of Elite for every computer that could run it.
Now I'm curious. How many players who made it to Elite Elite are currently members of the anorak elite?
I probably would have been but after a 6 month long binge on Elite I one day woke up, realized there is a lot more to life than playing computer games and deleted my copy by cutting up the distribution disks.
Elite was pretty addictive, and I have a weak spot for that kind of mechanism that apparently has only one way to resolve it.
