To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi;

my name is Luc, I'm 52 years old in a few weeks. When I was around 13, I had an English pen pal for a few months. I was invited to his home and we had some nice time with him and his family. When we were not having a particular activity, I was spending all my time on their computer — it was in year 1985 —, playing their brand new game Elite. This game was just drawing white circles, straight lines, and dots on the black screen, but as for me I was in my ship, trading goods with loss and benefits, attacking ships and travelling through the galaxy. No need of technical performance to sollicitate imagination.

 

Today I managed to find an emulator allowing to play again Elite '84, but I found Pioneer Space Simulator, and I definitely love it.

 

So here I am now 😉!

Sir Hayden!

 

Greetings and Salutations!

 

When you say "new" do you also mean "new" to the joys of waltzing about in outer space? And if so, now are you doing it? Elite via an emulator? Oolite? Some other method?
