Elite Universe Editor

David Braben and Ian Bell’s seminal 8-bit space trading game Elite is widely considered to be one of the greatest games of all time, with the original BBC Micro version generally considered to be the definitive version of the game.

Now, 38 years on from the game’s original release, enterprising coder Mark Moxon has breathed new life into the game by creating a universe editor for the BBC Micro version of the game, available now as a free download from his Elite Universe Editor website, which also contains easy to follow instructions on how to use the editor. So, why not experience this 8-bit classic in a whole new way, pilot? Why limit yourself to being a trader, when you can be a god?

I've been playing video games since the 1980s, from the 8-bit era onwards. I have had to play one-handed following a stroke in 2014, and I blog about playing games with one hand.
