I also wasted a lot of my youth playing Elite, so much fun. Check out the page--it also has annotated source code for Elite (a few different versions up there).
Great game, I seem to remember you could play two player using a serial cable, and my friend brought his Archimedes around, we spent literally all night playing it
I genuinely think that is the best Archimedes-only game, just pure arcade fun with split screen dogfights. Such an amazing technical grounding. In 1990!
