I made a Mini #EliteDangerous in #PICO8. Right now you can scoop fuel, jump between systems and do fetch missions at space stations. Now all I need to do is adding about 200 billion star systems to the database.

This code was added to the NES version of Elite. It doesn’t appear in any other 6502 versions.

It stops the docking computer from killing you if it screws up its approach.

It feels wrong, somehow. I mean, dodgy docking computers are practically Elite lore, right?

It's friday, and that means it's time for my retro game of the week!

Plenty of games claim elite status, but there's only one game that is truly... Elite.

Of course, it's Elite, for the... NES?

Really?

Yep, it's a thing. A glorious thing. Find out why in this week's article!

New Elite deep dive (11 of 25)

Even with a whopping 128K of ROM to play with, NES Elite has to compress all those beautiful bitmap images to fit them in. Here's how it's done.

New #NES Elite deep dive (1 of 25)

To kick off this new series, here's a comparison of NES Elite with the other 6502-based versions (it is a conversion of BBC Master Elite, after all).

To understand NES Elite, you have to understand the NES hardware. This article covers everything you need to know if you want to fully grok NES Elite.

Next up is the fundamental concept of bitplanes, which NES Elite uses to create its super-smooth vector graphics. Prepare to have your brain stretched!

Time for a re-#introduction!

Henlo, I'm Sid!

I'm a #transfem from India, and I'm a poly-nerd, my primary hobby is collecting hobbies. I'm a #foss, #privacy, and #security enthusiast. I use #linux as my primary OS. I absolutely love #arenashooters, #fightinggames, #StarWars, #rally, cheesy 90s movies, #spacesims like #elitedangerous, #xmen, #spiderman, #wolverine, #transformers, among a lot more things I am forgetting at the moment. #Gaming, tinkering with hardware, goofing around with software, appreciating #poetry, #cooking, etc are a few of the hobbies I've collected over the years :>

Tadaaam !

#SteamOS (via #HoloISO) sur une config #gaming de salon d'occasion pour en faire un #SteamDeck aux stéroïdes (et surtout continuer à refuser #MsWindows). Poke @gamingonlinux

Et ça fonctionne au poil ! Reste plus qu'à configurer les manettes (et surtout le #Thrustmaster T16000M Hotas pour #EliteDangerous)...

Bon, il va falloir aussi diminuer un peu le #PEGI, je le crains...

Thargoids, it's always Thargoids. The second mission sees us racing across the galaxy, escaping from alien attack as we transport plans for the Navy.

Wer wird in knapp 2h einen Spielen-unter-Linux Wissenstalk mit Fokus auf #EliteDangerous (und ein wenig #StarCitizen) im Discord vom Stellanebula Project machen?

Genau - ich werde das machen :)

Unique to the C64 and NES versions of Elite, the Trumbles mission is a good way to wrap up this series of deep dives. Just don't feed them after dark.

Only managed to sell half of the gold, so far, but I'm pretty satisfied with today's payoff 👍🏻

Goodnight, sleep tight and have sweet dreams, y'all :blobcatlove:
