I’m working through the line-drawing routines for Elite on the Commodore 64, and it turns out the C64 code is closest to the Acorn Electron version. So, Commodore commanders, you owe a big 🫡 to the Elk for this glorious game.

Just thought you should know.

I'm delighted to announce my latest hack for BBC Micro Elite.

The Delta 14B is a joystick with 14 buttons. This is the perfect stick for playing Elite, so I've hacked the Elite Compendium so you can now fly your Cobra Mk III without having to keep reaching for the keyboard.

See elite.bbcelite.com/hacks/elite for more information, download links and details on what you need to get this working.

Right on, Commanders!

I've finally managed to build the recently released source code for Elite II on the BBC Micro. It does... something! Though I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

Still, here it is: Elite II from 1985. I think they're in trouble, whoever they are...

(Note that this "Elite II" is the unreleased 1985 sequel to the original BBC Micro Elite, rather than the 1993 game "Frontier: Elite II". See elitehomepage.org/fourty/index for details.)
