Oolite Bulletins

Just want to say thankyou for making this utterly, beautiful version of Elite.

Oolite is a classy piece of work and I'm enjoying it immensely. I've been getting a bit jaded with gaming lately and this game has properly pulled me out of the pit. Awesome stuff.

Thanks also to the people who've done the extra stuff too - the new ships, the different stations etc. Fantastic.

Thankyou one and all.

I too would like to thank our new overlords. Great game. I'll be releasing a new mission shortly. The developer tools aren't that friendly, but they could be a whole lot worse.

Hi.

I just found Oolite tonight. Wow!

I've been playing Elite Since I was 10 years old. I started out on an Acorn Electron and went Halves on the game with my best mate Adrian Griffiths.
Those wire framed gaming days were so good!

As I got older I got an Amiga 500 and naturally the first game I got was Elite.
The graphics may have been snazzier, but it's the game that matters. Alot of my friends are gamers and always give me a sideway look when I proclaim that Elite was the best game made. would someone like EA make an open-ended game like Elite Today? not on your nelly!

Anyway, with the coming of adulthood and responsability I drifted away from Elite. I still Kept a lot of visual reminders though, to keep me smiling.

Now, I'm not good with Emu software for PC's, so i bought an old A500 of e-bay so I could feed my Elite habit 5 years ago.
I used to go up in the attic and get it to set it up on the kithchen table - much to the chagrin of my wife.

Today I am a 32 year old man who has been lucky enough to find Oolite.

Simple words can't convey how happy i'm feeling right now. I really would like to thank it's creator in the best way:

'Right on Commander!'

...well, another satisfied customer!

A very big welcome to the Oolite BBs; there's a lot of us here with very similar stories, all enjoying this remarkable reincarnation of a game that was particularly significant both to us and the world of computer games.

Have fun!!

Well said guys, and count me in with the thanks to all the developers.
Keep the good work up.....please

All the best,

Booser
