Nobody else mentioned it so I guess I'm the only one watching BBC4 in the small hours!

A new series - Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe started last night - for those who have access to the BBC iPlayer...

Elite is mentioned as the first "open world" game.

I had to sit through 38 minutes, to get at the gold of a 5 second elite quote?
Cool, apart from the "silver haired t**t" water torture that is.

:D

And yes I can get away with that, the Glaswegian accent does not a man make.

"The great thing about Glasgow now is that if there is a nuclear attack it'll look exactly the same afterwards"

:) Apologies I should have been a bit more specific about when precisely Elite got its moment of glory.

It'll get another mention in Electric Dreams BBC 4 later this week - the trailer included a glimpse of some sort of ancient computer with red function keys...
