Ian Bell, author of Elite, claimed that the NES version was his personal favorite 8-bit version of Elite.
(He liked the 32-bit Archimedes port the best overall.)

My greatest published achievements technically would have to be fitting BBC Cassette "Elite" into 32K of RAM including the screen, and later the Nintendo Entertainment System conversion of "Elite" that used a character mapped display and a single NES controller. The NES is my favourite published conversion and was not thought technically feasible until we'd done it.
I interpret this as meaning his favourite version is the BBC Micro cassette version, while his favourite conversion is the NES one. But I'm a BBC fanboy, so that might just be me being hopeful. :-)
favourite /published/ conversion :)
(I think)
Probotector is Contra @50Hz with all humans replaced by robots, but still lots of firearms and violence.
Aw, blush :)
