You'll have a hard time finding the original Elite - it was made by Acornsoft for the BBC Microcomputer in 84. I went out of my way to find that version, and it took me quite a while (at least here in the US). It's the only BBC Micro game I have. Anybody know how good a system that was for games?
The Gold edition and Elite Plus are what I'm used to seeing for the Apple and PC. "Elite" (not gold) was also on the ST and Amiga. I'll check on the label issue for you once I unpack my Elites. I only have about 4 boxes left to unpack and Elite Plus is in one of them. I should be done by this weekend. I may be interested in the gold version you found. Please send me details. No objections here to "for sale" notices. Hugh -----Original Message----- From: "Lee K.

I sold a couple copies of Elite Plus for a nice profit earlier this year. However, IIRC, the ones I sold had two 5.25" disks. This only has one, but it's not labeled either "Disk 1" or "Disk 2." Also, the label looks like a cheap photocopy. Any chance that there was a later release of this game on a high-density (1.2 Mb) 5.25" disk? Also, I've never seen a copy of the original Elite before. It says it's the "gold edition." Does that make it unusual or do they all say that? Is it worth trying to sell on eBay? Or is anyone here interested in it? BTW, we have an impending financial crisis at my house. Would anyone object to some "for sale" posts here? Nothing spectacular, I'm afraid, but I'd rather sell stuff to you guys than go through the hassle of eBay and unknown bidders. -- Lee K.
