[Readme] "Elite" was originally written in 1984 by Ian Bell and David Braben for the BBC Microcomputer. It has since been converted to many platforms.
The best conversions were for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Acorn Archimedes. There have been two versions of Elite for the PC. An EGA version programmed by Real Time in 1987 and later a VGA version ("Elite Plus") programmed by Chris Sawyer in 1991. You may find that PC Elite Plus runs too fast on modern PCs, in which case you should slow down your machine with a utillity such as David Keil's AT-SLOW4. If so, use the command AT-SLOW /C33 /Z. |
