Play Elite (Europe) (En,Fr,De) Online
Start with a junker ship and pocket change, dodging pirates while figuring out if you'll trade, fight, or scavenge your way across a surprisingly deep wireframe galaxy. The learning curve's steep, but nailing that first zero-G dogfight makes it click.
I first encountered Elite on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, a port of the British computer game by David Braben and Ian Bell. It was a different kind of experience on the NES, a system more known for platformers and action games; this was a serious, open space simulation that felt almost out of place, yet completely captivating for those willing to dive in.
You pilot a Cobra Mk III spaceship, starting with minimal credits and basic equipment. Your goal is simply to survive and prosper, whether through honest trade, bounty hunting, or piracy. The core mechanics involve navigating between star systems using a hyperspace jump, managing a cargo hold to buy low and sell high, and engaging in wireframe 3D combat against other ships. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, and the difficulty is unforgiving; a single mistake can erase hours of progress. It feels like you are truly alone, making your own way in a vast, indifferent universe.
