British development studio Frontier has announced anniversary celebration plans to commemorate the release of Elite, which took place back in September 1984, 25 years ago this month.

To celebrate the occasion, Frontier has launched a new website which hosts information and media on the original Elite and its two sequels. The website features videos of Frontier boss David Braben and others from the studio discussing their own experiences with Elite.

To kick off the celebration an online Elite Questions & Answers session with David Braben will take place on Wednesday September 23 on Twitter. To take part, simply follow the Frontier Twitter channel (www.twitter.com/frontierdev) and submit your questions to @frontierdev. Selected questions will be rewarded with a limited edition Elite t-shirt, and one lucky grand prize winner will be awarded framed Elite artwork signed by David Braben.

Over the next few weeks other events with more prizes up for grabs will be hosted through the official Frontier Twitter channel, Frontier Forums and Elite Facebook page.

Check elsewhere on VideoGamer.com for a hot off the press interview with David Braben where he discusses the latest on Elite 4, The Outsider and the upcoming LostWinds sequel.
