Hi Darren, Ah, I see. As I recall the version for the Amiga was a little different from the Atari versions. I never understood quite why, but every time Elite was ported or rewritten for a different platform they offered different ships, slightly different missions, etc. Perhaps it was a

Hi, Yeah, that's for sure. Which version of Elite did you have. There were several versions of Elite produced in the 80's. The version I remember best is the version for the Atari II series, and I think I also had the NES version at one time. Cheers! On 11/20/11, Darren Harris
