Found an interesting story recently... Classic video game "Elite" is getting a 21st Century makeover. The owners are using KickStarter to fund the updated version. This could get interesting! :-)
Here's a link to the story:

Hope all my fellow Amigoids are doing well! What's everyone playing lately?

Thanks for the heads-up, Nate - if it happens, that could be very cool.

I would love to see this game remade for modern systems.
Would have to be kind've niche, though. I don't see a lot of releases
that aren't 1st person shooters anymore!

recent (stinking) pc release of Carrier Command. :)
As you know the Amiga original is one of my favourite games ever, but
I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed with Bohemia's attempt to remake
it.
