Grand National

Elite Software

Status: No Download, Findability: 2/5

A short entry now for yet another Elite game that never quite made it, even though it was advertised in magazines at the time for both Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.

Grand National of course was based on the famous Aintree horse racing event, and Elite had a game which was promising the following:

  • Strategy – You study the form
  • Planning – You choose your napp
  • Tension – You place your bet
  • Action – You ride your mount
  • Reward – The acclaim of winning the World’s Greatest Steeplechase

Advertised in 1985, only the ZX Spectrum version would see a release – but there was nothing to surface for the Commodore 64.

Did it get far, and was it done by Chris Harvey, Neil A. Bate and Rory Green perhaps? If you know anything more, then please do get in touch.
