Players of elite could role-play to a certain degree and pick a professional or role for their character ranging from trader, pirate, bounty hunter or asteroid miner, my personal favourite being a bounty hunter and sometimes when no ones looking I take a sneaky pirate kill. The universe in Elite is pretty expansive for such an old game consisting of 8 galaxies of 256 planets in each galaxy, so there is room for plenty of exploration. The game itself was a space simulation which also had the ability to trade buy-able commodities between planets, having a stock-market where prices fluctuated, more-so between planets of differing economies e.g.

It was available on a number of the 8bit machines and also had 16bit iterations. The Original Elite programmed by David Braben and Ian Bell was first published by Acornsoft in 1984.

They were approaching the continental mass that was FirstFall, and promising a bleak and wet few days to the swathes of forest and the deep, snaking valleys that cut through the rugged land. There were storms moving across the Paluberion Sea, six great whorls of pink and white cloud. The planet Lave, below, rotated in blue- green splendour. The space station gently span away into the shadows and the small Ophidian class vessel shuddered as its motors angled it round towards the Faraway jump. The game in focus is a well known space trader / simulation game called Elite or its present day incarnation Oolite.Įxcert from the Elite novel Dark Wheel by Robert Holdstock included with the original Elite QuoteFrom the moment that the trading ship, Avalonia, slipped its orbital berth above the planet Lave, and began to manoeuvre for the hyperspace jump point, its measureable life-span, and that of one of its two-man crew, was exactly eighteen minutes.

I have decided to write a article on a game I have been playing for many years, both in the present and back to the days when I gamed on a little 8bit computer affectionately called the Speccy or Spectrum.
