Oolite is a space sim game that aims to continue where Elite left off. It is based on the classic space adventure game and offers a faithful simulation of the original Elite. The game features huge galaxies to explore, slick and fast gameplay, and expansion packs that can be downloaded from the developer website.
If you have fond memories of playing Elite, then you will likely enjoy Oolite. It faithfully recreates the graphics and gameplay of the original, albeit with faster and smoother gameplay. One standout feature is the ability to control your ship using the mouse, making navigation and combat more intuitive. However, it's worth noting that mouse control is only available in full-screen mode.
Oolite is a game that requires patience, as the galaxies are vast and traveling from planet to planet can take time. But if you love space sims and enjoyed Elite, then Oolite is definitely worth a try.
