  • WROCC Meeting - Mark Moxon on Elite - 6th Sep

    From WROCC@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 30 22:45:03 2023
    WAKEFIELD RISC OS COMPUTER CLUB

    Mark Moxon on Elite
    -------------------

    Meeting on Wednesday 6th September at 7.45pm

    The bulk of Mark's talk will be about Elite on the BBC Micro, which he's
    been analysing in great depth over the last few years.

    He'll go through the main features of the game and explain exactly how they were implemented, from the original BBC Micro and Electron versions to the enhanced versions for the 6502 Second Processor and BBC Master. He'll also talk about Angus Duggan's Elite-A, as well as the Apple II and Commodore 64 versions that the authors converted.

    Finally, he'll look at the NES version, which contains a surprising amount
    of original BBC Micro code. If time permits he may also touch on Revs and Aviator, which he's also analysed.
