Elite turns 25

September 18th, 2009


(via Sci-Fi-O-Rama)

EA Executive Vice President Rod Humble provides a Frontier: Elite II anecdote:

“I knew the scale of Frontier already, galaxies of data, ships and goods complete with missions. So I remember waiting with awe for him to give me the build, I dont know what I was expecting but a mountain of floppies or a hard drive or something. Instead he handed me a single floppy disk.”

Be sure to read Matt Barton and Bill Loguidice’s Elite history over at Gamasutra.
