It's taken 6 months, but my latest labour of love is finally complete! You can now explore fully documented and annotated source code for Elite on the #NES, reconstructed by hand from a disassembly of the original ROM. Please enjoy!

A big surprise to kick off the week at Games That Weren't, with recovery of a long lost and complete #PC #DOS conversion of Firebird Software's Thrust. Missing for around 35 years + it's existence not fully known - you can now finally play it!
