Ah nostalgia. I used to love playing this on the Speccy. And all in 48k as you say. And it will have been written in pure assembly code as well.
AMEN !! I was thinking that im the only one remembering that game.. cool ..now just watch out for thargoids ;}
Wonderful detail on the ship and great lighting on both the ship and earth! Cheers, David
fantastic scene and render!!
Right On Commander aah the hours I spent reaching Elite...
If you want to recapture the fun of the game there is a freeware version called oolite out there which runs on a modern computer.
Thanks to all for the comments! I made a tumble video of it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFxaqUB6iOY And the base mesh was available free at Foundation 3d. When it's 100% finished, I;ll be releasing the textured version there free as well.
Marvelous, and definitely brings back memories. Painful, rage-filled memories of trying to dock and gradually scraping away my life. Until that one beautiful day when I finally managed to get enough cash to purchase a docking computer. Ah, that was the greatest moment of my childhood. Anyway, I love the picture.
