I played Elite in my early teens, at that peek where free-time and maximal coordination and reaction time, intersect. I got so good with the keyboard that I could line up enemy ships in my crosshairs and destroy them before they were larger than a dot. Combat became tedious, like periodically wiping away a crumb, or a bit of dust.

I still sunk more hours into it than any other game I had, only giving up when I was Elite status and had played all the special missions.
