You know that if you press down+left+a+b as you turn it on you get a secret game. Not boverred unless its Revs or Elite. Retro car link - Back in 1998 I was working for a computer games publisher and we published a game developed by Frontier, David Braben's company. His pride and joy then was a top-end Audi Quattro from the early 1980s which he bought new with the Elite money, it had the 80s-tastic electronic dash and all. I wonder if he still has it.

You should see the new Audis you can get into the ecu and change when the int light comes on in the boot and even how slow the wipers park ! you can spend weeks moding the stuff on them, and then it prolly wont go cos you've changed summink you shouldn't ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

damn, I used to love "elite" ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) the horror of discovering that after "harmless" you progress to "mostly harmless" Someone's a Douglas Adams fan... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I think the original version of Elite was written before Hitchhikers... its a seriously old game!

The guide was 1979 IIRC and Elite 1984... Just found a website full of older games so dfragging the Acorn out of the attic over Christmas! Rysz.

Heralds have a hidden mode too. Exceed 50mph and the speedometer enters 50-70-50-70-50-70-50-70 mode. Brilliant!! My GT6 as that edition as well! ;D
