Elite is a space aviation simulator, created in 1982 by students of Cambridge University - David Braben and Ian Bell. The player takes on the role of a star pilot through the dangerous corners of the galaxy. The PC version of the title was released in 1987 and was the first game with three-dimensional graphics on this hardware platform.
Command your Cobra space ship in a fantastic voyage of discovery and adventure, a supreme test of your combat, navigational and entrepreneurial skills.
Trade between countless planets, using the proceeds to equip your ship with heat-seeking missiles, beam lasers and other weapons - corporate states can be approached without risk, but unruly anarchies may be swarming with space pirates.
Black market trading can be lucrative but could result in skirmishes with local police and a price on your head!
However you make your money, by fair means or foul, you must blast onwards through space annihilating pirate ships and hostile aliens as you strive to earn your reputation as one of the Elite!
