No they did not. Elite was hugely successful but the genre was pretty solidly laid out and has changed very little since Star Trader, later the Trade Wars series and more than a few things from the Traveller pnp RPG.


Woah 1974 ... didn't know about that one Oops. Thanks for pointing it out.

I believe Elite still holds the "did it in 3D with procedurally generated universe" trophy.

Don't anger the forum gods.

Sounds about right. There was another game that came out around that time but I'm not sure which came out first, I think it was Elite. I suppose it doesn't really matter though since Elite was the better game.
