So you are doing "Elite" (the first one)? That could be good, it's
probably one of the most addictive game I ever player, and the single
game I logged on the most hours of play.

It's one of the very few games that I miss the most from my Apple II
game collection.

The only thing I feel was wrong, was that you could only have a single
model of ship, you couldn't change your ship to another model (like a
single place fighter or a larger freight ship)...
