Notes

[1] The Action 16 budget release of ELITE PLUS is the same as the original release of Amiga ELITE V2.0. The reason for this is that ELITE PLUS, a bug-fixed release for other platforms, roughly coincided with the delayed conversion of Amiga ELITE.

[2] Elite's docking sequence and music is "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss. Its use suggests the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" which also features the piece.

[3] Distributed in Germany by Ariolasoft.


Known releases: V1.0 and V2.0

Notes

Elite Advanced is a modified version of the classic space trader game. The changes have been made by AmiGer under the CARE project (http://www.discreetfx.com/Care/).

The modifications are:

New ship: Warrior MkIV !
Big and fast battle ship. Transports Gold ! Has many rockets and it's hard to defeat...
Bounty: 30.0, Points: 150

New Ship: Colubrid II
Middle class ship. Transports narcotics !
Bounty: 20.0, Points: 100

New Equipment: Climatech Universal Laser Cooler
Costs: 6500 cr
Available on techlevel 6
Cools your laser so it doesn't overheat. Take care: activated cooler decrements your energy !
Activate/deactivate with key 'O'.

New Equipment: M2031A3 Heavy Military Laser
Costs: 9500 cr
Available on techlevel 12
Double efficiency as the normal military laser.

Some visual adjustments
e.g. Planet colours in space now fit to colours in local navigation chart, etc.

Equipment is now splitted into two pages if more then 15 equipments are available

Rating point table halved. So you reach the E-L-I-T-E status and the missions earlier.

Harddisk installable and Workbench startable (just copy the two files to your hd)

Return to the OS via "Exit" in the "Options"

AGA fixed
