Marko Susimetsä first played Elite on Commodore 64 in 1985 and immediately fell in love with it. He was 12 at the time and the game is one that he says "defined" him as a gamer, alongside the Ultima IV and Civilization games. He later played the game on Amiga 500 and 1200, on which he also played Frontier: Elite 2. It was only when he bought a PC in around 1996 that he started playing Frontier First Encounters. | Marko Susimetsä first played Elite on Commodore 64 in 1985 and immediately fell in love with it.
