It's much better than the original (if that is possible!!). You can land on planets, it's all texture mapped. You can buy bigger space ships until you have a huge beast (about 3,000,000 credits I seem to remember with a couple of thoudsand tons of cargo space - i.e. serious kick ass lasers). It's a little bit harder to get the hang of (more controls than the old Elite) but well worth it. In fact I'm itching for a game right now!!!

I'll try and find a retro site with it, oitherwise I'll post it up here (I think it fitted on two floppies). Of course the graphics are a bit dated now, but the gameplay was amazing.
