Play Elite Amiga Online
1984 space trading and combat sim. Pilot a Cobra Mark III, trade goods, fight enemies, upgrade ship equipment. 8 galaxies with 256 planets. First-person 3D wireframe graphics. Amiga platform.
Elite came out for the Amiga in 1984, originally developed by Acornsoft and later published by a range of companies including Firebird and Rainbird. It was one of those games that defined what the platform could do early on, with its ambitious scope and 3D visuals that felt genuinely new at the time.
You pilot a Cobra Mark III spacecraft, trading goods between planets, engaging in combat with pirates or police, and slowly upgrading your ship's equipment. The game unfolds across eight procedurally generated galaxies, each with hundreds of planets to explore. Key mechanics include navigating through wireframe space, managing your cargo and finances, and choosing when to fight or flee. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, and the difficulty can be punishing if you take unnecessary risks. It feels like building a life in space, one credit and one hyperspace jump at a time.
