(Tim) - BBC Micro legendary title, Elite has been remastered using the popular View Data text mode or more well known name in the UK “Teletext”. This is a mode on the BBC that was also used back in the 80’s as a form of generating information pages available through your TV that sat below the regular TV signal. Using the correct type TV’s you could switch to view the data (hence view data) on your screen. Now using that mode on the BBC Mark Moxon has spent time converting Elite to this very unique graphical style.
