Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hello there fellow Commanders,

I smile at the people laughing at me when I tell them I play ED with my flight chair and HOTAS and am being made fun about all the little kids out there playing.
Well I mostly don't care too much since me and Elite have the same exact age and I am pretty sure I am among the youngests.
I don't know how to make a proper poll but I would be ever so glad to get to know how old you Comrades are.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised (and I would be more than happy if that's so) to find people from 80s and 70s alike, knowing a few of you veterans are used to play Space Games since then.

Thank you all for your cooperation and for helping me feeling at ease!

Right on, commander!

I was 13 when I first played Elite on my ZX Spectrum. I just can't help myself but fall in love with this new version, to some amusement of my wife. I swear I can hear her snigger when I say the word commander out loud.

Im in the younger group.

A mere 36 years old.

I played elite first on the c64 - I'll admit i didn't really get into it as I was too young to appreciate it, come the Amiga version of elite frontier which hooked me! I had folders full of trade routes and commodities pricing at different stations, then came the PC version of first encounters and bugs galore but I still loved it... Then there was nothing, bought the X series which I thought, whilst good, it wasn't elite.

Once I'd seen elite dangerous was actually out of beta and playable I pounced! I fit into the 38 year old kid playing

I played on my BBC Micro back in '84, and I was already in my 30's.
Now 65 and still enjoying gaming, playing Elite and other stuff like Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

Well I played the original on the C64.......

Now have a Warthog.......Track-Ir......And a home built customised control panel......2 screens and about to spend a small fortune on a new box......

Mrs hates it with a passion......And is always telling me to grow up.....

Soon to be 57 and still kicking ass........

So bollocks to the Mrs.......

I'm 34 and I think we had Elite on the C64 but I was a bit young.

I had never heard of Elite till this version, we didn't always get the coolest stuff in 'Murica. But I'm not young, just turned 35 a couple of weeks ago.

Just 45 and still flying...

13 days from being 47, played the original on the C64 (can still remember the excitement of seeing it advertised on the cover of Zzap!64
