Elite ROM Description
With Elite for NES, Take Off Into Retro Space Trade
With Elite for the Nintendo Entertainment System, discover the wonders of interstellar trade and primitive battle. Before being transferred to the NES, this groundbreaking space simulation was initially released in 1984 for home computers.
You begin as Commander Jameson, with 100 credits, on the Cobra Mk III spacecraft. You are free to explore a massive procedurally created galaxy and seek your fortune among the stars from the space station at Lave. To make money, trade items across worlds. Find bounty by pursuing pirates. Accept assignments from the Galactic Navy. Harvest minerals from asteroids. In this flexible space exploration, the decision is all yours.
Elite created ideas that eventually became space trading genre mainstays. Jump between star systems in hyperspace with a heartbeat. Equip the Cobra Mk III with additional armaments and electronic devices, like as computers that dock and fuel scoops. Engage in fierce ship warfare with insectoid Thargoids. The space trade gameplay was made more immersive by the then-revolutionary wireframe 3D graphics.
Elite laid the groundwork for several gameplay innovations that were later expanded upon, despite its current simplicity. It was a real pathfinder that gave the feeling of danger and life to space.
With Elite on the NES, you may relive the exciting early days of space commerce and fulfill your aspirations of being an interplanetary entrepreneur. Get the genre-defining vintage classic today at ROMsdl.NET to get a personal look of space commerce history. Launch yourself into the vast, pixelated void.
