VIC-20 Elite: A Retro Space Trading Adventure Reborn

Programmer Aleksi Eeben has brought the classic space trading game Elite to the VIC-20 in 2025 with an unofficial port. Despite the VIC-20's limited memory, VIC-20 Elite boasts 30 unique ships, Coriolis and Dodo space stations, and core gameplay elements like exploration, combat, and a dynamic economy. While some features were trimmed to fit the hardware constraints, it's a remarkable feat of 8-bit programming and a testament to the enduring appeal of the original.
