Absolutely. The purple ones were the best.

I've asked to be Commander "Steve". Wonder what my chances are?

Rob wrote TDW as a job (and was paid 17.5p per copy of Elite sold) to fund his other books (Ryhope Wood series) I had a brief chat with him at the Elite Gathering in 2009 and he said that he would love to write a follow up, not least because the royalties on TDW paid for the deposit on a house he w...

As mentioned in the article, Rob Holdstock was one of their authors. It would have been really nice if he'd been able to write another story, some 30 years after The Dark Wheel. Sadly not to be

Indeed it is.

Love the videos Drew; glad to see you got over your "FE2 in 1991" troubles

I went there a few years ago and the Visitor Centre is definitely up on the rim, with some good viewing platforms nearby. IIRC you couldn't walk into the bowl of the crater unless you were part of a guided tour.

Crikey! Still, whatever gets you through the day, huh?

Well, I finally got it to work, tortuous though it was :shock: I couldn't just remove the griff oxp because then when I tried to load the savegame it failed because the necessary oxp wasn't there. I couldn't install a newer version of the oxp because there doesn't seem to be one for download. There ...

I'm guessing I need to copy some other data from my 1.75 folder, but can't imagine what
