After YouTube mangled several attempts to download a 360p MP4, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xPc_zOvU08

Game's called Star Fleet (1982), from the company that would later make Thunder Force and Herzog Zwei. It's nowhere near as big as Elite, but has early space-sim combat (repeating guns and missiles + Newtonian physics) and text-based exploration of planets/docking with space stations. Pretty cool, though the two-year gap between this and Elite really shows.
