Re: The greastest computer game lives again
Captive was pretty spectacular, and another that I did complete (freed guy only to watch him get snatched).. I loved using the doors to kill the bad guys.. BOY did those doors slam shut.. but it suffered from 'sequel complexity' with CAptive 2 like Elite (Frontier).. but this one (OOlite) keeps the original concept and feel of the game and just breathes life into it.
It actually has the generation ships (hard to find) and Rock Hermits that where 'urban myths' in the original
Also a few new piece of kit, like one that allows a deeper scan of ships (see legal status) and a 'witch fuel' injector that allows rapid space travel if you need a burst of speed, but cant use the 'J' button (speed up time) when ships are near.
Of course, I think three ships was the most that attacked in Old Elite.. just wait till you get an alert when you see a cluster of 6 coming at ya!!!
