Review - ELITE is a game of generations.

 ELItE - game of generations.    
________________________________
                                
it all started in 1985,
when the company FIREBIRD was
game released - E L I t E - ,
which has become a game of generations. This
the game was written not only for
computers of the family SPECtRUm,
but also for other cars, including
including forIBm-compatible. Than
it all ended with IBm, you
known from "SPECtROFON" N16.
On SPECtRUm'e the same events
developed completely differently.   
   Since the proprietary version of the game
was well protected, then to her
showedHackers are of considerable interest.
The result of their work was
disappearance of many different
game situations from the proprietary
ELItE. Ships disappeared without a trace
whether, weapons and so on.  Passed
for some time, and finally
us to Russia by some wind
this game sucked. Hungry
for new games our hackers
together we rushed to this game. On
new light began to appear
version of this great game. What
Well, let's see what ver-
these - E L I t E - are walking around
our country...                 
                                
   1. "ELItE"opened JOYStICK
CLUB. This version is very good
similar to the opened version
JACK O'LAtERN, and most
close to the original.   In it
there is no ship ADDER, but
full-full KRAIt's.  Police
it's pretty sluggish here, and if you
start practicing
shooting at stations, then you
will politely ignore. Overall
this onethe version is pretty good, but
best for beginners
pilots.                        
   2. "ELItE m1 LOADING". In this
version is missing KRAIt, but
sometimes there are ADDERs. If
you're a bad shooter, then the best one
targets than the station, you don't
find.   She's big, that's why
It's not even hard to get into it
newbie  And you don't get anything for it
there will be.   Apparently, at the station
we're already used to this, and not
pay attention to such
little things.  Die in this version
problematic.                  
   3. "ELItE m128 LOADING".
There are KRAIt's, but no
ADDERs.    For stations here
We do not recommend shooting, because
the police are tired of all sorts of
amateurs practice
shooting at the station, and therefore
you when trying to attack the station
will meet a police patrol,
very inclined towards you
unfriendly.   In this version
fuel-free transition is in effect
(by the way, it works in two
previousversions).   This
version is the most serious and
difficult.    You can't die here
will be difficult even for an experienced
to the pilot.                         
   4. "ELItE" BY NIKOLAS
RODIONOV.  The simplest of
all versions. There's a lot to talk about here
no need, just look at
hacker's name (let's be friendly
remember BALLBREAKER...).       
   All above versions
were released quite a long time ago.
Recently there have been
new versions of this game
(modified).       Now
let's talk about them.        
   5. Remix from tHD. So,
finally!  It's finished!!! After
long wanderings around our country
ELItE fell into the hands
well-known company tHD from
mOSKOW. tHDtook on
this game.  And what do we end up with?
got it?Of course, the next one
remix from tHD.  Well, let's go
okay.  Let's start with good weights -
tey.  There was music for music
processor (removed from DIZZY II),
so the game stopped
work on 48 computers.   
   Secondly, there was an additional
body menu.    Kla-a-assnoe
MENU!!! There is also one more
the positive aspect of the game is you
pick up from a wrecked ship
immediatelytons of 10and more
payload. Well, now about
cons of this version.  The only
ny drawback, which, however,
and negates all the benefits
this version.  This is cycling
the first mission.But, what
truly amazing - this is how it is
the fact that ships do not twitch in
time to the sound of a shot.With this
we are done with the version.           
   6. Novosibirsk ELItE 2,3,
4(?).Modified KladovVladimir from NOVOSIBIRSK. Nothing
we can’t say about the real one
Kladovskaya ELItE, since before
of our city she never
I've arrived.                          
   But let's talk about
"hacked" versions of the game ELItE.
Let's start with the second ELItE, which
earned money thanks to efforts
Sbrodova Tolika, and that's why I
I give him the floor. Please...     
  - So. First this version
games were sold in the store
"Blue screen" in non-working
form.   The point is that the game
should have been on
specific location on the disk.
Some users of this
didn't know and therefore didn't know the game
could not launch.  What would
I wrote to make their life easier
LOADER to the game. Now program
began to occupy the entire disk.But
but now anyone, even not very
smart, the player can run it
and enjoy the wonderful game.
My version was sold in
store  "Northern Magnitka".
Studio "OSCAR".  So if you
you are the owner of my
version of the game, and you are completely
satisfied, then you can send it to
my address is some amount in
rubles or in foreign currency. If
do you have any complaints
to me, then you can write to me and
I will take into account all your wishes
their subsequent developments.  
   Well, everything is clear. Now I
I will continue the story about ELItE.
Novosibirsk 3rd ELItE, on my
look, pretty hacked
successful.  Fundamental differences
from2nd ELItEI didn’t find it, but
the game is quite interesting.
There are 7 missions (4 new),
new ships, fuelless
the transition has no effect.   More
details about 2nd and 3rd versions
Novosibirsk ELItE can be found
from the magazine "SPECtROFON"NN
3,4,7.                          
   7. ELItE(R).    Russified
SERGSOFtWARE.  Let's talk about her
in more detail.   On the first
look - Russification is normal,
but let's look at the map
galaxies.    Oh, what is this?!
Zaodel (Zoo department?)? Lavo??And who
lives on them!!! Oh-oh-oh...Let's
Let's see: fat cats, small
some ferocious lizards, large and
small horned humanoids,
fat toads(artangs?)and
little hairy rodents...
Net, this is definitely the Zoo Department... And
me against my will
the following situation appears:
I'm walking, walking, and on my feet
these little ones throw themselves -
small ferocious lizards, and
packs of hungry fat cats
organize raids on civilians, no
innocent little ones
hairy rodents, and on top of
they are looked at condescendingly
big and small horned
aborigines, and fat toads are already
are borne in their pimply
the brains have insidious plans to take over
power throughout the universe.       
   Just like that.  Play like this
the game can only be
stoned...                      
   8. "ELItE S.".      Finalized
V. Yanovsky.The only confidence
improvement compared to
1st ELItE - what is at the beginning
games you are offered to install
superlaser. Overall, the game is not bad at all
no better than Rodion's version, from
which, by the way, it was made.

 So, let's summarize.   B
Cherepovets we have at least 8
versions of the game ELItE , and some
of them look enough
primitive.   If you don't have
any version, but it's for you
needed, please contact us. On
this is our short review
finished. See you soon...
