Some gaming conventions and museums have a retro-gaming area with Elite. Such as PAX AUS in Melbourne had David Braben’s own BBC microcomputer, signed by him, on display in a glass cabinet. It's presumably the same machine purchased to work on the original Acornsoft game all those years ago. There was also a signed copy of BBC Elite in its original box.<ref>[http://suprmasv.czausov.com/happy-birthday-mr-braben/ Jameson/Jones:Supermassive: Happy birthday, Mr Braben]</ref> | Some gaming conventions and museums have a retro-gaming area with Elite.
