Played a lot of Elite on my trusty old ZX Spectrum. Contrary to what many people say here, I hardly ever had any problems with docking: the game was quite forgiving, and you could dock from rather insane angles, the only real requirement was to get into the 'dock' rectangle at an acceptable speed.
I also fondly remember Elite successors, Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters. The great feat of those was fitting an insanely huge galaxy with orbital stations, surface cities, mountains and such on ONE FLOPPY DISK!!! These days just an image on a launch screen would require more bytes than those whole games full of content and missions and ships.
