Note thatb Elite - The New Kind is a recent PC implementation of Elite pretty true to the original BBC version. In fact it is quite good at pretending to be a Commodore 64 or BBC micro through software emulation.
BBC Micro (1) ColecoVision (1) And best of all, this software is completely free and open-source. So the Python APIs will look exactly the same, the microbit, radio, speech, music modules, etc.
