Elite Story

Discuss all your favorite classics and retro style games in this area. The only requirement is the game has to be over 15+ yrs old to be considered a classic. Nice tool for playing these classics is DosBox.

Elite Story

Post by Pinback »

Story of Elite put together by a YouTuber Kim Justice and not a bad effort, granted old hand will not find anything they didn't know about. But it,s a good way to spend a spare hour.

I believe that undisclosed amount paid by Firebird for the right to Elite was a 100,000 according to Retro gamer mag.

Pretty good presentation of the history, my first exposure to elite was on the C64, still haven't purchased E:D yet.... I will eventually when I think they are done adding too it.

Anyone in the Uk, if you have a spare 10 minutes drop into WH Smith and have a look in this months Retro Gamer magazine as it has another Elite article, pretty much a copy and past one as usual. But it has a short interview with one of devs which did the Spectrum/Amstrad conversion of the game, just a pity it was not longer.
