Until then, space games were flat, 2D experiences where you were restricted to a choice of when to move your ship and fire laser bolts at ever-descending dot-matrix aliens. Elite created a believable open-ended wire frame universe of planets, political systems, economies, trading routes and space stations, in which you could explore the galaxies and define your Commander Jameson — would you live the life of a bounty hunter, a miner, a trader or a pirate?
Rich Moss of Ars Technica said: " Elite changed everything. It was the home computer game to have in the mids—an open-ended spacefaring romp through eight planet galaxies, which were fixed in their composition but cleverly generated on the fly by an algorithm in order to save on storage space. Its abstract 3D wireframe planets and spacecraft provided just enough detail to instill the appropriate sense of scale, with the rest left to your imagination.
The former creative director of DMA Design Gary Penn cited Elite as a major influence for the original Grand Theft Auto , "But I'd been working on Frontier, which is very different and there were definitely other people on the team who had things like Syndicate, Mercenary and Elite very much in their minds as well. That combination definitely led to the more open plan structure there is now.
The game as it stands now is basically Elite in a city, but without quite the same sense of taking on the jobs. You take on the jobs in a slightly different way, but incredibly similar structurally. It's just a much more acceptable real world setting. The game was cops and robbers and then that evolved fairly quickly -- nobody wants to be the cop, it's more fun to be bad.
And then that evolved into Grand Theft Auto". The Elite series spans over 30 years.

The certificate says "The longest running space simulation series is Elite created by David Braben and Ian Bell and was released on 20 September Officially amazing.
Back then games were largely simplistic, clones of arcade games or following very closely in their designs. There were games that broke this mould, but they were few and far between, and often easily forgotten. Elite was born out of the dissatisfaction with the confines of traditional gaming. With no score, what was the purpose? The Thatcherite years of the s provided the answer — money.
On what? On upgrades… so your ship had to be inferior to start with. What would be the purpose of upgrading your ship? To defeat other vessels. Why would those other vessels attack you?
