| 1 | * GenrePopularizer: It paved the way for all 3D space simulators, and particularly space trading and open sandbox games. |
| 2 | * KillerApp: ''Elite'' singlehandedly sold a lot of Platform/BBCMicro computers before the inevitable ports mentioned below. |
| 3 | * PortOverdosed: Despite having only one console port (for the NES, in Europe only), and having received no modern re-releases, the original ''Elite'' still qualifies for PortOverdosed status thanks to its complete smothering of the 80s home computer market, as befitting a Killer App. |
| 4 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: ''Elite IV'', having spent time in DevelopmentHell for '''17 years''', was finally saved thanks to crowdfunding efforts, culminating in its release as ''VideoGame/EliteDangerous'' in December 2014. |
| 5 | * ScreenToStageAdaptation: Ian Bell's brother, Aidan wrote ''[[http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/musical/index.htm Elite: The Musical]]''. |
| 6 | * SequelGap: ''Frontier: Elite II'' released ''nine years later'' in 1993. The gap between then and ''Frontier: First Encounters'' was a modest two years in 1995, but then you see the entry above and realize that ''Elite: Dangerous'' wouldn't release for '''19 more years!''' |
