Elite has been out in Britain for a while now.
Its the same game as the CBM 64 version, but with better graphics
and more missions, just as addictive as the 64 version.

Its not about space mining, but Space TRADING.
The object of the game is to warp around space trading goods, shooting
up space pirates, and avoiding the nasty thargoids.
This enables you to make credits so you can customise your ship to your
liking, eg. Military Lasers, Energy Bombs, Retros, etc., and also
increase your status from Harmless, thru Mostly Harmless, Competent, etc., 
to Elite status.
