- Reviewed our plans for updating the App. Settled upon: adding four volumes (each volume containing between 1 and 6 near-100% original 8-bit home computer games) every other month.
- Reviewed our plans for raising awareness of the App. Settled upon: releasing a small number of near-100% original 8-bit home computer games each month as stand-alone Apps, (as well as making them available as in-App purchases).
- Published (in full at www.elite-systems.co.uk) and in part here, the list of games currently included, or currently included as in-App purchases, in “Elite Collection”, that is:
