Elite was one of those games that got ported to the other machines.
Except, it wasn't ported to the Oric Atmos, which wasn't considered worth the effort.
Until a few years ago, that is, when Chema and his crew made a pretty good version for the Oric:

Old computers never die - their users do!
- forinti 6y agoWow, that's an excellent port; the Oric only has a 1MHz 6502.
- Tepix 6y agoAccording to Wikipedia its 6502 runs at 1.75 MHz. The BBC Micro runs at 2Mhz. Elite was also available on the C64 running at 1Mhz on a 6510.
- forinti 6y agoI've played also the MSX version (3.58MHz Z80), but no version I've seen runs as fast as the Beeb version. Still, they are all quite impressive.
