Elite (1984)
Experience the classic space trading game, Elite, as released on the BBC Model B in 1984, by Ian Bell and David Braben.

From the original box description:

"Command your Cobra space ship in a fantastic voyage of discovery and adventure, a supreme test of your combat, navigational and entrepreneurial skills.
Trade between countless planets, using the proceeds to equip your ship with heat-seeking missiles, beam lasers and other weapons - corporate states can be approached without risk, but unruly anarchies may be swarming with space pirates.
Black market trading can be lucrative but could result in skirmishes with local police and a price on your head!
However you make your money, by fair means or foul, you must blast onwards through space annihilating pirate ships and hostile aliens as you strive to earn your reputation as one of the Elite!"

- I know this is 'free' and should be in the 'free stuff' forum, but figured there maybe more interest in the vidego gaming forum. Mods feel free to move as desired.
 
Do you need some weird program/launcher to run this? Or you just get to install after bought? (like if you need steam/origin/similar)

 
Why wasn't us Elite: Dangerous Kickstarter backers told about this in the newsletter?  This is something we would surely would have liked to hear.  Anyway, thanks for the heads up, unlike the Frontier Developments newsletter.

From the link (at the bottom)
For PC only. Requires Windows XP or greater

Package includes a disk image of the original Elite for BBC Micro B; BeebEm, a BBC Micro and Master 128 emulator that enables you to run BBC Micro software on your PC; and instructions for getting started with both BeebEm and Elite.
tl;dr. no 3rd party DRM launcher required.
