Im glad I noticed that you said 'almost equate' when comparing the BK and 
Elite games - I was about to write a massive flaming post on how no-one 
could ever favourably compare the crap of BK with the fanastic beauty of the 
Elite games. Both Frontier and First Encounters were well ahead of their 
time in terms of graphics, open gameplay, size, flexibility, immersion, fun 
and stellar depiction etc etc and both games kept my attention for years. No 
game in any genre has even come close to rivalling these since. As for BK it 
has always been an overhyped bugged mess of a franchise, playing which 
always resulted in frustration rather than enjoyment.
