Acornsoft

History

Elite is the biggest hit of the software wing of Acorn Computers. First released in 1984, it could still be found in the All Formats charts in 1989 long after the Acornsoft brand had been absorbed by Superior Software. Elite was also hugely successful on non-Acorn machines where it was published by British Telecom's Firebird.
