Yeah my favourite games were elite then first encounters when that came out, I really did enjoy getting a panther clipper, filling up the hold with shield generators, the more you had the better protected you were, then I'd take off from a planet, then I'd cut the engines. Bouncing round on the planets surface was just so fun!
The other game or series of games that I like is the x series. As in x-beyond the fronteer, x-tention, x-2 the threat x-3 reunion and x-conflict which I haven't ventured into yet. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jacob Kruger Sent: 18 January 2010 21:23 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Elite was RE: classic games I think I actually liked the farpoint one, but to be honest, I can't really remember the names too much - main thing I remember is the fact that you could do some real 3D flying, and it was amazing to see the action on the screen, but at the same time make use of the navigation interface etc. to try find things. Only other sort of flight simulator programs ever really spent much time on/really liked where a silly little 2D one called BlueMax, where you flyed a sopwith camel around bombing and doing simple dogfights - thanks Jim for winpuppy since it honestly reminds me of that one - and another one called something like B52, or dambusters, where you were meant to fly in avoiding anti aircraft fire, fighter planes, and end up bombing a dam, and this one was sort of based around WWII.
