To tie in with a review of Elite: Dangerous I'm writing a brief history of the Elite Franchise for a geek website. I would like to include screen shots of the old games but I don't have the time or inclination to set up emulators and get the old games running
Would anyone be able to help me? Alternatively the Alioth Elite Wiki has plenty of screen shots I could use but I'm not sure whether I can use those images without permission?
These are various screens taken from a few different game versions. Some are quite old and some were made to demonstrate development features, but I hope that this covers what you need.
I'd love to read up your history of Elite once it's been posted.

I think that Alioth Elite Wiki images are Creative Commons licensed, so permission shouldn't be a problem - but I ain't certain!
A brief nod of acknowledgement to the Alioth Elite Wiki would be nice, too.. hopefully the server won't get slashdotted though!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
