Elite Acorn Games Video Archive A3010/TV Card

A quick video of the 1991 Hybrid version of Elite also known as ArcElite. This version is widely regarded as the best version of Elite. After a short hyperspace to a local system I was jumped by pirates but saved by a Viper police patrol, not so lucky second time round!

Wow, 5 or 6 Pythons and no slowdowns.

i bought a copy of this for my A310 about 20 years ago. In my opinion theres no better port of elite. Sadly the game seems to be "lost in time" while the a310 ist still in my ownership although not tested if its still working. Found a copy of Elite in the web so this will be my next project for the near future ... :D

The Acorn Archimedes kind of like a British Amiga I had forgotten about this machine

ArcElite was the best version of the original Elite. Although I still have a soft spot for Chris Sawyer's Elite+ on the PC.

Merry Christmas! Christ this game was good, I had the BBC B version and it was fab but this blew me away! Even beat the Atari ST version. Surely it's time for a remake?!

Wow, never seen the Archimedes version of Elite before. This looks so cool compared to the wireframe original on BBC B.

So fast on an emulator , that its unplayable . Still , I can go back to playing Elite on my electron and it's not a bad version at all . Actually , it's a v good one .

It's rather easier to control if you turn the damping on!

7200 kills for Elite IIRC. ArcElite only had 4 missions - Genesis Capsule, collect ingredients for disease cure, kill Zartid, kill pirate with a grudge against you (not necessarily in that order).
