#SpectrumElite - Twitter Hashtag

There were over 30 key assignments to remember on #Elite, unheard of in 1980s games, but which actually soon became familiar to the pilot. Players of #SpectrumElite on the (in)famous rubber-keyed machine, however, could use the keyboard overlay provided with the game package.

Happy Birthday to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, released on this day in 1982! One of its most popular games was #SpectrumElite in 1985, opening up the game to a huge new player base. It was an excellent version of the BBC classic #Spectrum40

As the 40th anniversary of the UK release of the Sinclair #ZXSpectrum approaches, it's worth remembering one of its biggest-selling games - #SpectrumElite - which, while not the best version, was great fun to play and one of the machine's most iconic titles.

Two of the most difficult versions of Elite to get hold of - #MSXElite and #EinsteinElite Only the Opus disc #SpectrumElite is more elusive 😞

It's always interesting to run the original Elite on emulators, to see how they compare. The #AmstradElite opening screen seems much smoother than the #SpectrumElite or #C64Elite versions. A better machine or a better emulator?? #WinApe 🤔

ZX Spectrum Elite was programmed by Torus and released by Firebird 1985. Although not as visually appealing as the C64 version, #SpectrumElite was an excellent conversion with lots of ships and some secret missions.
