The Elite Plus Commander saved game file is a legacy binary format developed by MicroProse for the 1991 space trading simulation game Elite Plus. This format functions as a persistent data container for user progress, archiving specific gameplay variables such as starship configurations, financial assets, and navigational coordinates. As an obsolete artifact from the MS-DOS era, it poses no modern security risks but requires compatible emulation environments to be accessed or modified.
