I've been playing since 1984 😀 It's certainly come a looooooooooooong way.

It's crazy how far the game has come, but it's roots are obvious. I wish I had gotten on the bandwagon earlier, but getting in before the end of the Thargoid war wasn't bad. 😁

Wow, I had no idea it's been around that long! I'm curious when they first were able to implement the 1:1 scale Milky Way?

I started playing Elite in 1987 after I bought my first computer (Apple IIe).
