Angus Duggan's Elite-A is a masterpiece of hacking, taking the original BBC Micro version of Elite and extending it with more ship designs, the ability to buy and sell different ships, delivery missions, an encyclopedia and lots more. It is legendary, and quite right too.
But Elite-A was only released for the BBC Micro, and it simply hangs if you try it on a BBC Master.
Until now, that is!
Elite-A contains a bunch of not-quite-finished code that tries to make it work on the Master, so I've extended and debugged this until, finally, it's working. Elite-A's version for the 6502 Second Processor also now works on the BBC Master's internal co-pro, for maximum luxury.
And it’s also available in a version with flicker-free ships, which looks really slick.
