Elite for the NES

I discovered Elite about a month back. I tried playing it via emulation on my PSP, but I guess either the rom was screwed up or my emulator couldn't handle it because it was

Does anybody own/know anything about this game? It appears to be a PAL title, but I'm unfamiliar with regional compatibility for the NES. Will it work on NTSC hardware? Is it worth tracking down even if it does?

Far as PAL nes title go you would need a top loader to play it.

It's a legendary 3D space exploration computer game in Europe and is probably not the same on a console. Retro Gamer seemed to feature it every issue early on, but I've never actually played it. I believe that it was the number one game in their top 100 retro list.

Yes even so.

This game is pretty cool, but unfortunately only works properly on a PAL NES. On an NTSC NES the bottom 3rd or so of the screen is garbled (tried it last night). PAL NES has more v-blank time since PAL is super slow. Still, you can tell how awesome and impressive this game is.

Retro Gamer can't seem to shut up about this game. I would really like to try it out one day.
