Several months ago, I posted a question about the game Elite on the net. I got many responses, but no one seemed to be any farther along than I was. I got up to deadly, before I stopped playing out of boredom. Anyways, Doug Pardee (one of the correspondents) decided to put together an Elite Player's Newsletter. Since then, I've moved to this new location. I'd like to know what happened to that newsletter, and more importantly: has anyone won this game YET?!? Doug, please respond if you see this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please reply via e-mail; I just don't have enough time to go thru the entire newsgroup. Thanks a lot! c60a-2ce@web.berkeley.edu.......................................Mikey *** Call Tanelorn III! (415) 540-1180. The Apple/Mac BBS of Berkeley.

Can I get a copy, if it's email-able? Next, the boast. I've played the original, BBC Microcomputer version, and I have achieved Elite status without getting killed. I did save the game several times, but only because I hadn't time to continue - never to get out of a tricky situation. Next, the question. I'm now playing the Atari ST version. (Well, not just now! :-) I have got to Dangerous, and I haven't seen any missions yet. How do I get one? N.B. I don't want to know what they are, only how to get them. -- "Keyboard? How quaint!" - M.

Well, I used to play Elite until I got bored of it too. How do you define "winning" the game. I got up to Elite status with all of the gadgets on my ship. I've changed galaxies twice, but nothing seems to change much between galaxies other than the names of the planets. I've never run into one of those bad-guy-invader ships, but I can't imagine that they're so much harder to kill than 12 or so attacking pirates. Is there a way to finally win the game? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David Ranney -- I don't know my address beyond my campus, sorry. | | A communist is a person who has nothing and is willing to share it with| | everybody. |

I speak from experiance, those invader ships are a son of a bitch to kill. I met one in space warp between two planets in galaxy 7 or 8. I had all my neat gadgets(energy bomb, 4 missles, quick energy restore, military lasers both front and rear, etc...) and even after using the bomb and all my missles they still toasted me...I think it depends on how long you play the game, not what galaxy you are in, I was Elite for quite some time before i hit these ships, by the way, has anyone run into one of those mining ships?? ------- Jeff Cooper | Stress: The confusion created when the | mind overrides the bodies desire NU115247 @ NDSUVM1.BITNET | to choke the living shit out of | asshole who desperately needs it.
