Broken link[edit]
External link, statements by Ian, doesnt work.
Bell & Braben[edit]
- Does anyone know if these two guys (that'd be Bell and Braben) have actually met in the last 20 years? I very faintly remember reading something about the original Elite and the last meeting between the two. That was back in, what, 1985? --Tirolion 12:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Can be 15 years at most, as the duo was featured in an early 1991 article in a German video/computer game magazine, when they were working on the NES port of "Elite": http://www.kultpower.de/external_frameset.php3?site=%2Fshowartikel.php3%3Fz%3Dpowerplay%26im%3Dpowerplay_artikel%252F1991-01%252Finterview_braben.jpg%26backurl%3Dpowerplay_artikel.php3%25231991-01 --Kthomsen 21:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
POV[edit]
- Added POV tag, as the article mentions disputed royalty payments etc. with no quoted source; currently just rumour mongering.

What does the Interview with Ian Bell...[edit]
...have to do with David Braben in particular, other than to cast a disparaging light on him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.167.221.131 (talk) 05:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- Removed, also a decade old. prokaryotes (talk) 21:57, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Lawsuit section incomplete[edit]
AFAIK, the lawsuit was settled out of court in Braben's favor, because Gametek released the game prematurely, why isn't this mentioned anywhere?
