Request; add original elite to the game.

[TheMightyFozz]

I first played Elite when I was a kid on my brothers amiga. I loved it, but always crashed docking.

I'd love to see an emulator for the original game to be put in stations on an arcade machine. I feel this would add to the lore of the game too and encourage commanders to visit all the amazing sites more.

That would be super cute, to have the OG compatible for modern computers that does NOT require a hit-or-miss form of "emulation" to work. The white triangles and circles on the black background...was just ADORABLE!

Maybe put it into a ship-board computer when "Walking around Ships" becomes a thing, like a little arcade-machine "Easter Egg" in all the ships.

There's a module game called Alite. It's built off of the original elite and has texture skins added as well. It's nice to play around with to get a feel for what the original was like. I never played it so it's the closest I'll ever get.
