Amiga's version of ELITE Quick key control guide
« on: March 05, 2007, 12:42:31 AM »
The keys for various weapons and navigation controls of the popular game Elite are not the same on the Amiga as they are on the original version and the very popular C64 version.

I looked everywhere on the internet for such functions as the retro rockets and the radar range change to no avail. The energy bomb is also placed differently on the keyboard on the Amiga version.

Here is what I have found through experimentation:
