Are you a BBC Micro owner? Do you have an Econet network? Do you like Elite? Are you jealous of all those BBC Master and 6502 Second Processor users who can now load Elite over their networks?

Fret no more, as I've just released a version of BBC Micro Elite that loads over Econet. All you need is 16K of sideways RAM, and you too can join the club... small though it is. 😀

This weekend I'm heading to the UK's National Museum of Computing for an Econet LAN party (late 70-90s networking tech by Acorn Computers). Going to try and create the world's biggest Econet network, free entry if you bring a machine, so I added Econet to my BBC Master.

I probably won't be able to stream from it without being really annoying to everyone around me, but if I can find a non-antisocial way, I will!

#TheSentinel once again. This time, fully featured at #TGOD : https://www.goodolddays.net/game/id%2C1507/The-Sentinel.html . As good as his later Formula One games were, this game is so beautifully designed, so clever that it is truly a pity #GeoffCrammond went so one-dimensional in his further career.
