About Commodore 64 Elite (flicker free version)
Commodore 64 Elite was written by Ian Bell and David Braben and published by Firebird, and is copyright © D. Braben and I. Bell 1985.
This is the flicker-free version of the Commodore 64 Elite that drastically improves the quality of the graphics. It does this by removing most (but not all) of the flicker from the ship-drawing and planet-drawing routines.
To see the flicker-free planets in all their glory, We recommend you enable detailed planets by pausing the game, pressing “P” (you will hear a confirmation beep), and unpausing. Planets will then have craters, meridians, and equators… though note that this does slow things down a bit, which is why it is disabled by default.
