Elite was written by Ian Bell and David Braben. Ian Bell has a homepage with nice old Elite stuff free to download at http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/ http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/ A chap called Christian Pinder reverse engineered the BBC version of Elite (written in Assembly) and faithfully reimplemented it as documented C code. It was called "Elite: The New Kind" and was even ported to IRIX! Unfortunately he was then contacted by David Braben and asked to no longer spread this version.
