Porphyre's Trading Post

Welcome to Porphyre's Trading Post. This page has FFE (and some original Elite) links and TEP contributions and links. Someday it may include information about the Commodore Elite (as I do not think one exists currently). If you're ever out frontiering on the razor end of Alliance space, drop on by, and we'll chat some. Until then...

Elite Links!

Elite was a classic game that was published under multiple platforms. It was published for Commodores, PCs, Acorns, BBCs, and NESs. Two sequels were later released--Frontier and Frontier: First Encounters. Below are links related to these games. Commander Porphyre currently plays the Commodore version and is rated 'Competent'...

The authority on the latest sequel: Jade's FFE site!

A site with a more thorough 'ship reviews' section (FFE): Sirrico Station

Zat Solo's Link page: links to everything having anything to do with Elite in any form.

Ian Bell's Elite Page: Ian Bell was the co-creator of Elite. Now availible on his site are Elite+ (for PC), Commodore Elite, and Elite NES (you'll need an emulator). He has nothing to do with the latest sequel due to a lawsuit with the other creator David Braben. To hear Ian's side of the story, follow this link.

The Acorn Elite Page: This is one of the conversions of the original Elite to a platform. I do not have first hand experience with it, but the Acorn Archimedes version of Elite supposedly has superior AI to any of the 'Elite' games, combat formations of ships, and ships with their own agenda (i.e. Pirates attacking a space station, ships that ignore you--until you get in their way, etc.).
