![]() ![]() Of course a VM currently is easier to manage but a decent sandbox system should be an option where you dont need to have a full blown 'Guest OS' running - specifically if you just want to test out some applications. I am currently working offline on the Elite Amstrad CPC page, but after that I will collate what we have on the APPLE versions and put that page up on the Archives website. Plenty of uses for a sandbox which dont necessarily need a full blown VM for testing. This may be the disk that goes with your APPLE version. The main difference between the two labels are the same as those shown for the C64 labels on the Archives website - the alternate version of the APPLE II/IIc/IIe disk can be identified by the words "APPLE II" running across the top of the disk's "GOLD EDITION" logo. Regarding disk versions, I know of two different disk labels but am unsure whether the software versions are different. I have not yet seen an APPLE II version and would appreciate if you could either post or send me a picture. I know of 3 different boxes for the Apple versions of Elite being the APPLE II/IIc/IIe with the competition sticker, the APPLE II/IIc/IIe without the competition sticker, and the APPLE II/IIc/IIe version which has black APPLE II/IIc/IIe text instead of the normal white text. We will also look at magazine articles and reviews, posters, promotional material, t-shirts, Elite badges, official fiction (old and new) and of course Elite: Dangerous! As the Archives' homepage alludes to, the site will eventually cover more than just the games. Thanks again to everyone who has provided some additional information on various versions. If you open this image of the second USA version and zoom in you can just make out the competition text underneath the sticker If you’re a Sandvox user, you may have noticed it’s about time to find a replacement or alternative website builder. These changes were made after the competition ended. The "Fly to Britain Competition" version is essentially the same as the "G Gold" version except that the "G Gold" version has a sticker applied over the "Fly to Britain Competition" text, and did not include the competition form. There certainly is a "Fly to Britain Competition" version! I hadn't mentioned it on the website earlier, but I have now included the details. Thanks too for the comment about the "other" USA version. It took a while for me to find something that had the right look. If anyone has a spare copy, well, you know the - Glad you like the site, but a word of caution - don't wait until it is finished because I suspect I will be tinkering for a long - Thanks! Glad you like the layout. There is also an Opus disk version that I am trying to track down. AndyJ provided a good overview of the two versions here. It has taken a long time to build the collection and just today I received an email confirming that the C64 German Version was also released on cassette! If anyone has a spare copy, please let me - Thanks! It's been a long (and expensive) journey building up the collection so - I have both the early and late cassette versions for the spectrum.
