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).

...E-Type...

(who's up next?)

Oh man, that brings back memories. I had a four pack of games from The Fourth Dimension - Cataclysm, Apocalypse, Chocks Away and E-Type.

They were pretty much the only games we actually bought, rather than just demos from cover disks, so I played the absolute heck out of them.

Even after many hours of flying time, I could never stick the landings in Chocks Away.

Chocks Away anyone?
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!
Loved Chocks Away!
