Elite

[per]

I have tried out the NES version of Elite recently, and I must say I quite like it. I know the PAL version of the NES only runs at 1.55MHz, which makes it quite impressive that this game does real pseudo-bitmap 3D (wireframe/hidden-line removal vector graphics). It's slow at some times, but that don't bother me much.

 

Now, I'm not an expert at it, and I have only been able to travel and do trading with one additional space-station before being shot down by pirates (or whoever those orange dots on the radar are).

 

The real problem is that the manual is in German, and I chose French in school. Because of this, I have been unable to figure out the proper saving/loading algoritm, or other information like what the different kinds of ships are. Does anybody here have any information.
