Ep.108 – Only the Best of the Best

Elite (1984)

We take a look back at Elite, originally released for the BBC Micro in September of 1981. We'll look at how two young programmers imagined into existence the very first open-ended game in video game history. As part of the discussion, we'll look at the careers of its creators, and look at the legacy it left behind. We'll also look back at some reviews of both critics and users of the 80s. So stick around and join us as we visit deep space on this week's trip down Memory Card Lane.
