I remember 1949 - just. The Parents' big joke whenever a plane went over: 'Is it one of ours or one of theirs?' Meant nothing to me at the time, of course.

Glad to see I am not the oldest here. I first played Elite on the Spectrum in my early 30's then later an enhanced version with colour and shading on my Atari ST. Still pulling the trigger at 63.

I was a huge c64 guy (still have it, I actually started with the Vic20) but sadly I never had Elite :-( :-( :-(

I'm 48 and most of the guys I play with are in their 40s or 50s.

I'll be 50 in the not-too-distant future (later this year). I played Elite on my C64 back in 1985. I still have the discs (and the C64) around here somewhere...
