Hi derple
Firstly, welcome to the forum!
Now to your question. It depends on what format & languages you want the games in as there are many.
So what I will do is give you some links for the PC versions, if you require other versions, you can let me know.
Ok first site to take a look at is Elite Forever. This has many versions of the original games. There was however an issue with save games for some of the versions. At present I am unsure if they have been fixed yet. The games there are self contained, in that you just download them and play right away. Everything is already set up for you, but again check if the save games work.
Another site well worth a visit is Frontier Astro. This site has many versions available and even with different language variants. However you will need a program called D-Fend Reloaded to run them as it emulates an early PC setup. One advantage of using this method is it will open up the wonderful world of old Dos games to you as D-Fend can run just about anything you can throw at it and its really easy to use too.
I have other sites too, but try those two first and let me know how you get on.
Have fun!
