Those of us old enough to remember the best game ever made, might also have given up waiting for a rumored remake from David Braben.
Well at last, some good news, its to be remade by 2014, provided that is, enough people pledge money via Kickstarter to show enough interest. How Kickstarter works is, you are only charged if the project goes ahead.
So its like buying the game in advance (providing your pledge is of a certain amount), but you don't get charged unless its actually made.

Just realised I have done the poll option questions wrong and it cannot be edited, so just ignore the poll.

Second best game ever made. Dwarf Fortress has been best for a while. :wink:

I don't think that much of Braben, either as a person or as a reliable developer, and I don't have very high expectations for his attempt to remake Elite...

...but heck, I pledged anyway, 'cause y'know. Second best game ever made. :?

I strongly hope they go with a Frontier / FFE like model of the galaxy, 'cause that was f*****g amazing.

(Hehe. I may have forgotten one, but:

Turner
Argent
Sappho
Grail
Medusa

I have to run through that list in my head every time, just like:

Atlantis
Endeavour
Enterprise
Challenger
Columbia
Discovery

:wink: Recite lists, moi?)
