Elite: Dangerous succeeds at much, but it isn't finished. I'm not sure that a game of this scale ever can be. Frontier has drawn a line under the game's lengthy beta at a point where it is. Elite is notable for its expansive game world, consisting of eight galaxies and 256 planets. The player is free to travel to any of these planets, provided his ship has enough fuel for the trip (the ship's fuel capacity is limited for a journey to the distance of seven light years). Elite Dangerous. Take control of your own starship in a cutthroat galaxy. Elite Dangerous is the definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming’s original open world adventure to the modern generation with an evolving narrative and the entirety of the Milky Way. Speed hikers are racing on the mountain. Run and fly fast to beat all others! Lair Defense: Shrine. Protect the home against greedy human! Amazing strategic/arcade tower defense! Lair Defense: Dungeon.

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.

Description of Elite

Here it is-- the game that started a whole new genre of space trading games. Elite gives you complete freedom to find fame and fortune in a vast universe, as a space mercenary.

It is difficult to find fault with Elite: from the amazing flight model to the intuitive interface, revolutionary graphics (for its time), great variety of ships, and many other novel ideas, Elite is a true classic.

Beside revolutionary 3D engine for its time, Elite also boasts a huge universe to explore with many random elements to ensure virtually unlimited replayability. Trade various cargoes, salvage enemy ships, and take on increasingly difficult missions as a mercenary for hire.

Ian Bell has released the game into the public domain, so go to his site right now for the game and other assorted goodies. Two thumbs up!

Can this game be played using just the macbook keyboard?

Salsa Boy2018-02-250 point DOS version

Mine doesn't load. I save it without problems, but when I load it just says 'ERROR: Retry (Y/N)?'. I am running this on DosBox. If anyone could help that would be fantastic.

I used to play this on the ax spectrum.... There was a bug so that if you launced then stopped and turned over so you were in line with the space station entrance you could fly right back it and if you hit hyperspace while in the docking tunnel you found yourself docked at the target planets station....I did that u too I could afford a docking computer....lol. Wonder if it works on the other versions?

Best game i found for the DOSBox, the gameplay is amazing although there is quite the learning curve. However, i have not yet found a way to save and load my progress.
