# those computers were ace!
as a developer I am much more amazed by what they could make those tiny processors and virtually no memory do then than what can be done today!

There were a lot of shit games, but some excellent tricks were performed for the bigger games: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_%28video_game%29#Technical_innovations

# true, true..
I kind of prefer the days when games were made by one man and his dog, rather than these flashy multi-million pound productions.

I work for a hosting company, we got a new customer a while back called Frontier Developments, looked at the name on the credit card, David Braben.. had a bit of a nerdgasm :D
