Elite is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game developed by Hybrid Technology in 1994. It is assumed, though not confirmed, to have been an enhanced port of the 1984 BBC Micro and Acorn Electron game, Elite - numerous official ports of the game were released between 1984 and 1991, but none as late as 1994 (though a Game Boy version set to be released in the same time frame was also scrapped).
The game was announced in mid-1994[2] and at one point set for a November 1994 release date, however Sony pulled out of the project, leaving the game without a publisher[3]. Despite talks of the team continuing to work on a Sega 32X version and a unique Mega Drive/32X hybrid cartridge[3], a publisher was never found and the project was cancelled.
Ian Bell, one of the original developers of Elite, released a very early tech demo of the Mega Drive version to the public.
