Is another way to play it? Elite: Dangerous need to be online even for solo play.

That's the Frontier Developments 25th anniversary collection, including lots of games that have nothing to do with ED.
You had it right the first time; it was a BBC Micro game. There were ports to other systems, but I don't think either of those was among them.
It's currently free on the Epic store.
CTD on trying to play combat demo (while attempting to switch from keyboard/mouse to a controller) which never happened on my Model B. That's 36 years of progress for you...

If you've played less than 2hrs you can get an automatic refund from Steam.Gavrushka wrote: ↑Sat, 21. Nov 20, 23:23CTD on trying to play combat demo (while attempting to switch from keyboard/mouse to a controller) which never happened on my Model B. That's 36 years of progress for you...

Anyhow, with my 1st experience being a CTD, I may not return to it again. Me and my idiotic impulsive purchases...![]()
Titanfall 2 has one of the best single player campaigns I've played in my 30 years+ gaming. It's not overly long (looking at you, Witcher 3) and is genuinely fun to play. I don't remember any subscription related stuff being in it when I played it a couple of weeks ago?Gavrushka wrote: ↑Sat, 21. Nov 20, 23:59I've played zero minutes, I guess... Load screen, altered settings and a CTD.
Still, I'll keep it, but wish I'd read a few posts on here prior to purchasing.
I'd nearly bought Titanfall 2, instead, but was put off by the optional? monthly subscription.
Hell, I may just have to go back to Runescape after a six+ year hiatus...![]()
Ah, too slow I was! But glad you took the recommendation!
Even the Acorn Archimedes got a version, which is generally regarded as the best version of the original Elite--for a start, it actually had NPCs that would have battles with each other, which I'm pretty sure never happened in any other version. (It didn't even happen in Frontier or Frontier: First Encounters--I well remember getting shot up on the landing pad by a pirate so I took off without asking permission first, at which point the police started coming after *me*!).brucewarren wrote: ↑Sat, 21. Nov 20, 23:31According to Wikipedia it was eventually ported to just about everything, including Amstrad CPC and the Atari St.
I thought I had a fast connection, but it still took over an hour...
You've just reminded me there was a project to recreate and improve on the original. - I don't want to put links or mention its name in case it wasn't officially sanctioned. - If it's legal, I may just have to try that one out.pjknibbs wrote:Even the Acorn Archimedes got a version, which is generally regarded as the best version of the original Elite--for a start, it actually had NPCs that would have battles with each other, which I'm pretty sure never happened in any other version.
