Elite celebrates its 40th anniversary today! 🎂 🚀 ✨

One of my all-time favorite games. So many hours spent on the Atari ST version 🥰 (thanks Dad for the gift)

Here's the Elite scoreboard from a competition that we ran at the National Museum of Computing's Econet LAN Party. There are players in here from the UK, mainland Europe and North America, all competing live to see who can kill as many enemy ships as possible in the time limit.

There's a bit of testing going on in there too, hence the repeated names, but as a first proper test for the multiplayer scoreboard in Elite, this went pretty well!
