I just found this video about development of Elite back in 1984 on 8 bit systems.
Takes a deep(ish) dive about the hardware and some of the cool things done in code to make the game playable... And fun!
Made recently the author obtained an old 8 bit computer, fixed it then got into how the heck B&B produced a game that changed so many people's lives. Mine included, for sure.

Error near start where author states 2GHz but meant 2MHz. Other than that a really interesting watch.
