Elite

UK based developer and publisher that was founded in 1984 that made one game under the initial company name Richard Wilcox Software. After the name change they started making a number of licensed arcade conversions, and later a number of their titles would be published under the budget re-release label Encore and Hit-Pak. Their most popular titles are: 1942, Batty, Bomb Jack, Buggy Boy, Commando (Space Invasion in Germany), Ghost'n Goblins, Ikari Warriors and Paperboy. Some very memorable titles there indeed.

Note that the list might not be complete with all the different covers, media types and countries. If you got information about other releases please email me. Especially if you got a good cover scan I am missing. If you got anything for trade that I miss (see checkmarks) please contact me for trade/sale.
