Wings was good ... but waiting for the loading was a pain (as was the
constant disk swapping until we got a second drive, and then a hard
drive).

Mind you, there have bee much worse games. On the Apple II (also on
C64) there was a great game called Castle Wofenstein, the original game
not the 3D rubbish, ... but it takes AGES to load from disk and if you
caught quickly you had to wait for the menu to reload and then start a
new game and wait for it to reload. Even with a "turbo" loading on the
Apple II emulator, it's still painful.  :-\

We finished all the SII games, and many of the others like Bard's Tale.
I may even still have some of the maps we drew while playing them. I
still, play similar games on my Mac now.

There's a sort-of new version:

   Elite: Dangerous
   http://elitedangerous.com/


If you've got a PlayStation 4 console, there's a new game called "No
Man's Sky" which some reviewers are calling "Elite for a new century"
(it apparently has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets you can visit!).
