Looks like the X series is the modern successor to Elite (from 1984). I had a BBC micro with that game and pretty well used up all my enthusiasm for that genre getting to Elite status on it.
Elite was an amazing feat for a 16-bit machine, especially the split-screen display with two different screen resolutions at the same time to reduce memory. Pity you couldn't mod it.
Right now I have too many unfinished projects going on for DS2/BW to get started on another game, especially one you can mod.
