I feel we were perpetually lied to.

All of the games had a plot, none of them had closure.

I kicked prostitutes in the tits in Target Renegade for nothing. There was no hot chick to rescue. Only the game to play on loop, forever and ever and ever and ever...

I finished 'Elite' though.

That's how boss I am.

I never got beyond Dangerous

six whole weeks of solid playing. good grief.

I don't think you can actually finish Elite.

But once you get the 'E-L-I-T-E' title and have completed all 3! missions there's little to encourage any more gameplay.

I got to be "Elite"

...was there more to it than that?

I remember getting whacked a couple of times early on by the Thargons, but once I'd tooled up and felt ready to deal with them, the buggers were nowhere to be found :(

On the Speccy version I was always in Thargoid space

Shortly after the dreaded 'Fuel Leak' warning.

you could get into thargoid space, or whatever it was called

by doing something in hyperspace. pressing some combination of buttons. it always ended in tears.

Thargoids, that was it

They only ever seemed to show up when you were completely unprepared :(

Thargons were the little robot drones the thargoids would release.
