For the 1337, quite a lot of reasons I would say:
- First it's not really Elite, I'd say it's much more than the original game
- Second, 1337 really means Elite, but as you said in "Hacker Speech"
- It makes people wonder why it's called like that
So a supremely hacked/elite version of Elite really can have such a name

HELP! I got the sloten hi-tech (the hidden cannister from the Asteriod at Rebees) and proceeded to exit to the nearest world to begin my journey back. It says that I haven't followed the instructions, the deal is over and I have failled the mission?!? Can someone tell me how to pass this mission? Do I need to travel back to Riave by destroying Asteriods to refuel or something?
Edit: It turns out to be a bit of a bug in the game (I've uncovered a two or three so far), so maybe a new fixed version will be released soon?
Regards,
Shaun.

Indeed Shaun, that is why we are desperately asking for help in designing a disk-compatible SD interface for the Oric.
You store your disk images in an SD, plug it in, and play in your little machine!
On another (even more important) matter, Shaun has found out a BUG (and more than one by now) in 1337. One of them is serious and I have already patched the game to solve it.
When Shaun finishes the game and if no more bugs are found, I will post the new version in the website. Meanwhile, beware that version 1.00 is buggy.
(Version number appears for less than a second when booting both the intro and the game).
If you are already playing, don't worry for your saved games. You will be able to recover them from the new version whenever it is ready.
Really sorry for this, guys. It was heavily tested, but I destroyed it when building the release...

Hi Chema,
Even with these bugs, the game is really enjoyable. This is the classic Elite but with some big pluses to it, maybe Elite++
I'll hold back on the full review until most of the major bugs are fixed.
Thank you for this game, it reminds me of why Elite was so good in the first place, even the crappy C64 version.
Regards,
Shaun.
