Try not to get caught by Chief Inspector Braben if you're flying a stolen ship in #FrontierElite2 - the penalty is likely to be a life sentence of hard labour, or worse! Presumably the same punishment applies for playing pirated computer games... π―
Ship posters were included in the Firebird and Acornsoft releases of #Elite, although the latter only showed the ships found in the tape version. Of the two, the Acornsoft edition somehow seems more elegant, perhaps like the game itself?
Not to be outdone, the #SinclairSpectrum128 also got bespoke unofficial versions of #Elite - one of which is Elite Legend by PLM. Among the new features is ship purchasing, freight transportation, extra stations and new missions! Download it from https://t.co/qPVEDPM4PP
@drewhill79 This is how it's described in the Elite 128 text file. As for a similar device in BBC Elite, I've got a feeling there may be something like this in one of the Master versions, but I may be wrong π€
#CommodoreElite was marketed as a game for the #Commodore128 computer, as both were released in the US in 1985. There were no additional features however. For that, download Ullrich von Bassewitz's amazing Elite 128 from https://t.co/iLPKSXt9iT - new features and improvements!
Amstrad Action magazine very kindly gave away the complete #AmstradElite game with the January 1994 edition. I can't help wondering how many Amstrad gamers hadn't already encountered Elite in the 8 years since release though! π€
Ok, the Gameboy Advance is quite old now, but if you still have one, you can play a great version of #Elite on it. Visit Quirky's GBA Remakes or https://t.co/rWYcIB3eXl to play or emulate it! π
Did you know there was a demonstration program for #BBCElite sent by Acornsoft to retailers in 1984? This was for shop displays, to entice buyers. Now Mark Moxon has incorporated flicker-free graphics to make it even better!

Elite for the #TatungEinstein received a very positive review in the June 1987 edition of Einstein User magazine. The game looks suspiciously like the #Spectrum version, albeit with a few unfortunate flaws. Very playable though, and probably the best game for that machine.
@NebularNerd@louksd Nothing really. The game itself had a couple of changes, mainly just to accommodate playing with a gamepad rather than keyboard and mouse.
#FrontierElite2 was converted for Commodore's #CD32 and was nicely reworked to use the controller. Due to the machine only having 1KB of non-volatile memory, the game could only be saved when in space, not when docked at a space station! It did run quickly and smoothly though.
@jump_drive_flyr Strange, because I have a very clear memory of only being able to save after hyperspace. This seems to be backed up at https://t.co/M0pKnrOuNY so maybe you were able to save the game to another device? π€·ββοΈ
