Yeah I had heard that, the Atari 520st was somewhat different as well. Although I never got that far with it but to be honest it wasn't a patch on the omega version of the game.
On the omega version, you could scoop fuel from stars, use the fuel scoop to get cargo, my favourite mission in that game was the cloking ship one because if you completed it and destroyed the ship, you got to keep the cloking device. Another one was for an ecm jammer, I can't remember what mission that was but again it was another ship, the hardest one was the naval one for the thargoids. They just kept coming! You had to deliver papers on the making of the thargoid ship to some navel base something like that and every system you went too, depending on your rating, you'd get 3, 4 or even 5 of the beggers on you at any 1 time. imagine that, 5 or so thargoid ships, loaded with remotely controlled thargons, yeah that was hard hard hard! Lol in some cases I'd turn my ship around and use my retro's pointed at the planet just so I could get there! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: 21 November 2011 16:08 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] space strategy games was RE: Game concepts BGT Version1.1 Released! Hi Darren, Ah, I see. As I recall the version for the Amiga was a little different from the Atari versions. I never understood quite why, but every time Elite was ported or rewritten for a different platform they offered different ships, slightly different missions, etc. Perhaps it was a marketing ploy to purchase the same game more than once or the developer just liked making different versions. However, I do recall playing two or three different versions back in the 80's. On 11/21/11, Darren Harris <[email protected]> wrote: > I had the omiga 500 version.
