The original Elite that dates back to 1984 give or take a couple years was procedurally generated but that was simple vector graphics and you couldn't land or flyover planets you could only fly in space and land at space stations. Was still amazing for the time. However running in as little as 32K you can imagine it was very limited.
There is a clear Elite influence in No Mans Sky although I've not heard that mentioned at all about the game.
