I played way too much Elite on the BBC micro (vs studying). As a kid learinging to program I thought Braben and Bell were gods. It blew my mind that my 6502 computer could manifest the experience that was Elite. Braben went on to write Zarch/Virus that blew my teenage mind on the Acorn Archimedes A3000 which was the first ARM CPU that most people could actually get their hands on. Decades later Braben was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi foundation with cheap as chips (when in stock) computers built around an ARM CPU.
