Elite - Dangerous
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:32 am
I have never been one to play computer games, or games consoles, for that matter. Well that is with the exception, in the 1980's of a game called 'Elite'
A basic game, centred around travelling about space and trading about 20 different products, from diamonds and gold to really basic stuff like food or if you were brave illegal weapons.
Very basic stick graphics but I would play for hours.
Has there ever been a single computer game that really caught hold of you?
Now, some 30 years later:

It is back but this time graphically awesome.
I wonder if I will become just as hooked on this one.
Of course being rubbish at such games, I will need to find a cheat to give me billions of credits, so I can have the very best weapons, fastest space ship etc... I really can't be bothered with all that earning it, I will want it NOW!
Will my future be spent walking and cycling around Siem Reap, killing baddies in my universal space adventure game, then meeting friends in the evening for a few cold beers and chat? I really do hope so
What about you? Is it a singe computer game or and all enveloping hobby that fills your days?

Spent even more hours roaming the galaxy alternating between honest trading and more nefarious activities. The next game I spent much time on was Doom, then Duke Nukem and then decades of nothing until this year and Clash of Clans.
