There have been two official versions of Elite for the PC.   An EGA version programmed by Real Time in 1987 and later a VGA version ("Elite Plus") programmed by Chris Sawyer in 1991. Elite - The New Kind is a recent PC implementation of Elite pretty true to the original BBC version.

You may find that PC Elite Plus runs too fast on modern PCs, in which case you should slow down your machine with a utillity such as David Keil's AT-SLOW4 (if so, use the command AT-SLOW /C33 /Z) or Ansis Berzin's Bremze.
