- What’s your earliest memory/experience with the Elite franchise?
My first experience with Elite was back in 1984 on a friends BBC computer, this was an era when the big games to own were Daley Thompson's Decathlon, jet set willy and Skool Daze, Ghostbusters and terminator were in the cinema and it was a great time to be a young teenager still in secondary school.

- What’s your earliest memory/experience with the Elite franchise?
I first loaded up the rolling demo of FE2 from an Amiga cover disk when I was ten. I read the review whilst it loaded and couldn't believe it was possible.
After watching the intro I immediately headed out to find the full game in the local electronics boutique store.

- What’s your earliest memory/experience with the Elite franchise?
My Dad and I would go to the planetarium to learn, search out stars & planets from the church lot nearby, and keep up with stories and NASA, which is nearby as well. So back in 1984/1985 when I heard about Elite for the Commodore 64, I bought it right away. I even set up my own "cockpit".

– What’s your earliest memory of the Elite franchise?
Loading the game and listening to the disc drive spin and buzz as my ship launched. And docking. Fatally. A lot.
– What ship set-up do you go with when playing the game?
I have an Anaconda for trading and a Python for missions and a “weekend Viper” for low-cost combat fun.
