Electron Elite Information |
 |
 |
Elite for the Acorn Electron was, together with BBC Elite, one of the initial platforms that the game was released for in 1984. Unfortunately, it also has the distinction of being the least capable of any release of Elite. It sported the fewest ship types (along with BBC tape Elite), no rotating disc on the planets, no suns(!) and no missions. It also failed to reproduce the split screen trick employed on the BBC version - allowing a four-colour control panel - which meant the entire display was in monochrome. | |

In its favour, it copes with the remaining elements of Elite quite well and its place in gaming history is assured as one of the first examples of the program that would set new standards in the gaming industry and start a whole new genre. | |
