Alite is a fan port of the classic Elite from the 80s by Philipp Bouillon. Specifically, Alite focuses on the Amiga version.
Command your Cobra space ship in a fantastic voyage of discovery, adventure, and trade, a supreme test of your combat, navigational and entrepreneurial skills. Trade between countless planets, using the proceeds to equip your ship with heat-seeking missiles, beam lasers and other weapons – corporate states can be approached with little risk, but unruly anarchies may be swarming with space pirates. There is a lot of bounty to be made for the daring pilot. Do you have it in you?
Learn how to fly your Cobra in a series of face-to-face lessons from renowned Commander Quelo and profit from his vast experience. Remember: Black market trading can be lucrative but could result in skirmishes with local police and a price on your head! However you make your money, by fair means or foul, you must blast onwards through space annihilating pirate ships and hostile aliens as you strive to earn your reputation as one of the Elite!
Release notes:
Alite 1.5.8 fixes a minor bug when a missile or fuel is equipped and the game is not saved: they were lost before, now they remain.

Release notes:
Alite 1.5.7 Fixes the annoying “endless space bug”: When you are trapped in space and there’s no Ship anymore to control, you will be reset to the title screen after 10s. Another bug regarding saving of trade items was fixed, too. [And 1.5.7 fixes a bug introduced in 1.5.6 which made commanders occasionally reset back to default — whoops :)]
