Yes, that is the third planet in the Epsilon Eridani system and yes there is a space station in orbit around it ;)

    That was an amazing game.

    The Amiga version was an example of genius programming.

    Billions of planets and stars (granted, most of them were generated by an algorithm, but there were hundreds of real stars (including the sun and all planets in the solar system) and tons of space stations), tons of ships and a dozzen or so classical music trakcs, all packed into one 453K executable on a single floppy disk...and that's it.

    It's hard to say which is better, Elite 1 or 2. 2 was a bigger game, but 1 was just so fun.

    I like 2 better. I didn't get a chance to play the original until about 3 years ago. I couldn't get into it because it was so different.

    That screenshot was taken from the Atari ST version that I am running with an emulator (the PC version doesn't work for me anymore).
