Elite teletext trading screen

Last week, we reported that coder and former Acorn User editor Mark Moxon had created an impressive universe editor for Elite on the BBC Micro, but he isn’t stopping there! On Twitter, Mark Moxon has revealed that he’s now working on bringing the ever-popular space trading game to a whole new format – teletext!

While the project is in very early stages, Moxon seems confident that it’s possible. Well, it’s certainly got us “Bamboozled”! Moxon credits software developer Kieran HJ Connell with coming up with the idea of Elite on teletext, so he’s clearly some sort of twisted genius!

We’ll be sure to “Reveal” whether or not Moxon pulls off this incredibly ambitious project at a future date…
