I know of three versions of Elite for the IBM PC.  The first was a direct
port of the original game as I had on my commodore 64, and played even
better, albeit CGA.  The second version I have is Elite Plus, which added
more graphics (pictures of aliens), but I didn't take the time to get used
to it.  The third, and current one is Frontier, Elite ][.  More graphics,
ships, equipment, etc..  I still haven't gotten the hang of it either though.
