Hi Freaks ! We just bought Elite, the ultimate game for the Amiga, and had to discover, that either the program }istill has a bug or our comps ... which seems rather unlikely, cause all the other programs that use blitter etc. excessively s}ieem to work fine. The effect is, that Elite shows only a completely dark screen after a while but still the sound effects work, we checked our Amigas and both found that there are non-Motorola 68k cpu's inside. If anyone out there has discovered the same problems and knows a solution -> please send an e-mail to altger!zaremba@althh

I haven't had any problems, I even got program working with LUCAS-board on my A-500. (Only little patch on boot block was needed). pl@tut.fi !

I don't know anything about this game, but I can suggest a possibility: Some games grab the keyboard and mouse inputs very early on, ahead of any dmouse-type program that blanks the screen if there's no input for a certain time. If you are not booting the game from the original disk, you should make sure you kill off screen-blankers before starting the game. I ran into this problem with MarbleMadness.
