Fun fact: It was possible to come across a product named 'Tribbles' when visiting space stations. If you decide to buy it and then undock into open space again, after a short time of flying, small light-coloured blobs will start to appear on your screen. After a while the whole screen will be completely filled with these blobs making it completely impossible to fly. This is a reference to the Star Trek (the old one) episode called "The Trouble with Tribbles", where small furry animals get into a space station and start breeding at a phenomenal rate until they completely infest it.
Elite was originally released for the BBC Microcomputer in 1984. Created by Ian Bell and David Braben. This space trading / combat game was revolutionary; combining wireframe 3D graphics with open ended gameplay to create an incredibly rich gaming experience that still holds up today.
Incorporates the standard practice (although at the time original) of trading goods between different space stations and making a profit by taking advantage of the variable prices of different products at the various space stations you could dock at. You also encounter ships while flying between the stations in space which you earn money for destroying. You make ship upgrades as you progress through the game and earn more money.Fun fact: It was possible to come across a product named 'Tribbles' when visiting space stations.
