Title: Elite for the NES
Post by: VenomMacbeth on May 13, 2013, 08:04:40 PM
I discovered Elite about a month back. I tried playing it via emulation on my PSP, but I guess either the rom was screwed up or my emulator couldn't handle it because it was
Does anybody own/know anything about this game? It appears to be a PAL title, but I'm unfamiliar with regional compatibility for the NES. Will it work on NTSC hardware? Is it worth tracking down even if it does?

It's a legendary 3D space exploration computer game in Europe and is probably not the same on a console. Retro Gamer seemed to feature it every issue early on, but I've never actually played it. I believe that it was the number one game in their top 100 retro list.

Even if the NES10 chip is disabled?
Yes even so.

This game is pretty cool, but unfortunately only works properly on a PAL NES. On an NTSC NES the bottom 3rd or so of the screen is garbled (tried it last night). PAL NES has more v-blank time since PAL is super slow. Still, you can tell how awesome and impressive this game is.

Retro Gamer can't seem to shut up about this game. I would really like to try it out one day.
