Haha, yeah, Elite was fun. I played it a lot on an Atari ST as a kid. I remember cranking Led Zeppelin's 'The Immigrant Song' and blowing away everything in sight. At one time, I was good enough to be naughty right outside the space stations, and be able to blow up all the Viper police ships that came after me. Hehe, good times.drinkturps said:
Carrier Command, which was on my list, was (at least for the Atari ST) either made or distributed by the same company as Elite (Rainbird, if I remember right). It had a similar look in many respects (the whole simple polygon 3D thing), but featured more micromanagement, in procuring the proper supplies, etc for your carrier, and going after the right islands, and so on. I even managed to blow up the enemy carrier on a few occassions (pretty hard, as it was usually gone before you got there).
Still, DM/CSB has to be about my all-time favorite. I heartily recommend any fan of old games to search for 'Return to Chaos' and/or 'CSBWin', and start playing. When you have a choice of dungeons, play the original DM dungeon first (playing the CSB one means you'll die very fast, as it's intended for players who have played DM). Both engines should handle multiple dungeons though, including a plethora of fan-designed ones. When you come to the writing on the wall that says 'PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM', you'd better get prepared. The worms and rock piles are especially nasty to first-time players.
