So I had a great chat with @Wrathchild at CL5 and the end result was he kindly sent over his port of Elite for the Atari 8 bit machines, which is a different port to the Firebird version I mentioned the other day.

So here is a blatant Elite promotion:


From left to right we have:

1. Elite Tube/Master enhanced edition running on my PiTube direct upgraded BBC B. This is an amazing expanded version.
2. Elite Firebird version running on my 800
3. Elite Final Beta from Wrathchild running on my Atari 400 Mini
4.Elite running on my Apple IIe

And last but no means least as I didn't have enough screens for all of them, the self demo version of Elite, which I might add looks fabulous!!!


So you wait 40 odd years and end up with some great ports of Elite. I believe there are 3 in total now.

So lucky to have a choice :)

Just for fun, here is the Archimedes version on my A5000:

A great Elite demo there @rubber_jonnie. I didn't know there was an Apple lle. I shall have to acquire that at some point.

Cool, thanks.
