:> Back from FF7 for a minute: Elite is almost as good as FF7... almost. By

:Elite cannot be compared with WC or Freespace. Up to today, there is
:no game that can match the vastness of the universe created by
:Elite's author, D. Braben. The universe of Elite is so large, with so
:many starsystems and planets, it would be very difficult to visit
:each one. The purpose in Elite is not to shoot and kill, but to earn
:money by trading and get status by finishing missions.

:Thank God that this game got converted to MSX (as it was to almost
:every 80s system...:)
I wonder if Elite could be a little faster on a MSX2 using the
hardware-line-command. By the way, the newest episode of Wing Commander can
be downloaded FREE from now on at www.secretops.com !!!
A new part of the game will be available every week!!! This newest episode
of WC is made as a thank-you to all people who bought and played all those
lots of Wing Commander-episodes.
Groovy!!!
But I fear the site will be a little busy from now on... And the files are
very large (Initial file: 60MB w/o speach, 110MB w/speach... Whoo!).
And there are another 7 parts to follow the next 7 weeks...
