I am delighted to announce my latest hack: Elite 3D.

This is BBC Micro Elite, but in anaglyph 3D. To enjoy the third dimension, you'll need a pair of 3D specs; red-cyan is a good choice, but five different types are supported.

It's for BBC machines with a 6502 Second Processor, but you can also play it in your browser or emulator.

Full details:

Technical information: https://elite.bbcelite.com/hacks/elite_3d_technical_information.html

I recommend you take a quick look at the instructions first, as the built-in configuration tool makes a great introduction to the 3D effect and can help you get the best from it.

But if you can't resist jumping in straight away - and are willing to accept that 1980s anaglyph 3D isn't exactly the future of VR - then click here to play the game in your browser:

Have fun!
