Elite Timeline Evolution

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 1:00 PM

I will get around to writing "Games I Love: Elite Dangerous" sooner or later, but in the meantime please enjoy this lovely video by Retro Games Look cinematically chronicling the evolution of the series.

I do wish they had listed all the versions used though, especially for the original game. The BBC version is obvious, and I'm pretty sure that I recognized shots from the Electron, NES, Atari ST/Amiga and Archimedes. There's one with a lot of colour artifacts that makes me think it's the Apple II but there's a few I'm not sure of at all. Definitely no Speccy version, sadly.

Anyway, it's a very loving tribute to some of my favourite games. Make sure you watch it to the end.
