Elite 2 frontier download
But I would be thankful if anyone can help me with it, because overall I'm a real shitty gamer. He had it for the PC and I had it on my A, and we'd go to my place, play it for hours.
When my mom chased us out, we'd go to his place, and play it more hours on his computer instead View all comments You have the whole universe to explore and i really mean that! This game really pushes the limits of the Amiga, and i did play this all the time on my A It was sluggish with all the detail on, but i just enjoyed exploring so much that i didn't even care! These days we have been spoiled by faster machines, so if you are going to play this make sure you have at least an A, but at the time of its release No other space game gives you the freedom to go where you wish, do what you wish in an open ended universe!
The only area that is lacking in this game is sfx and music But that never stopped my sleepless nights playing this one! This game was just incredible, the amount of freedom along with the amount of missions was just staggering. You had option to literally become almost whatever you like, from bounty hunting to doing spying missions with the imperial forces - this was just breathtaking - AND it was all on a few floppies, what a feat!!!
This game kept me up well into the nights and days, i remember i used to play at least hrs a day and couldn't stop playing it! Lol Think GTA in space and you'd get the idea! If only it was remade in HD on the gaming boxes we have these days eh?! Overall then, an absolute classic, digital space crack at its most finest!
I remember the star map you got with the game was poster sized and I think I only visisted a handful of worlds. The most annoying thing about the game was the copy protection, which was a serious bummer once you lost the game manual. Still an endless classic! View all comments 6. After 1 hour of playing the game on an A of all things, a bit choppy but still playable with low graphics , I decided to buy an A, and a card.
Had great fun telling "space stories" of my characters adventures with my brother, who also bought the game. One of the most memorable recollections I have was my brother and I conducting a recon mission with a Panther Clipper really big, lumbering, ship. Probably the worst choice for such a mission , and rough-landing it in the middle of the "secret" base to take the picture! I had the throttle controls, my brother handled to 20MW laser turrets If you haven't played this yet, make sure you have all day to do so.
Its that addicting! View all comments 2. Wish I had as much free time as I used to! Simple yet engrossing. Intricate yet massive. An absolute gem and a game every amiga lover should play. Genius View all comments 9. Nuff Said! A universe at your service and great variety of ships for buy. One of the best game i ever play. Graphics: 6 Gameplay: 9 Sound: 6 Addictive: 9 View all comments Then something broke in it and it became boring quickly. I hated many aspects of the flight mechanics, I don't care how accurate they were trying to be, it was often frustrating.
Still, that whole universe there to explore was an amazing draw. Is there other game like this one today? Maybe the X games on PC? Even those seem to be lacking behind Elite and Frontier. This one and Elite are still the damn bench mark and that's all there is to it!
Btw, I hated the PC version of this. It was much better on Amiga. And yep, you needed a for sure. I remember the speed boost from a to a and being quite happy! I played it on my ' , and still bring it up once in a while. But only when I have a few hours to waste View all comments 2. Nothing less, nothing more View all comments Winston Wolf To the reviewer: yes, Braben was right, there is a 3.
The game was great, but I had an Amiga There would have plenty of more to be seen though. I did not get so far. I loved those big space stations and inhabited planet landscapes. The old Amiga doesn't handle it so well but pop it into something hotter like at and it plays great!
Sabreman I followed the progress of this game in The One for Amiga - I even cut out all the individual preview articles and bound them together. I remember the day it came out I asked my brother to pick it up for me from town, and he came back saying it was sold out. He was winding me up and produced it from a bag just in time to stop me weeping like a baby.
As far as the game itself went I can't deny I was disappointed with the performance - the A just wasn't up to the task - but I lived this game for months and it almost met my expectations. Frontier is still the template for what I'd consider to be one of my perfect games. Modern efforts like the X series have bogged the genre down in minutiae.

Oskar Yes!! THE best game ever, works fine, and that music just brings back memories. LJITimate nothing does anything. Hmmmmm ho hum The game starts with you sitting in the cockpit of your new crate with credits and a ridiculous number of stars and planets to explore. At each starport of space station scattered across the star systems you can buy and sell goods and equipment for your ship and scour the local ads for interesting jobs. There is no single objective other than to amass money to buy bigger and meander ships to journey further and survive longer.
The ultimate aim is to achieve the status of Elite, meaning you are one dangerous spaceball. There is a wide variety of ships to use, all with different statistics and each can be fitted out with swish bits of kits including obligatory lasers and missiles.
How you go about things is up to you. Trading in legal goods between safe places is a nice steady living that will keep you going for years. Answering an advert for a bounty hunter and trying a spot of assassination work is generally a rewarding and short career. In between there is the murky world of smuggling and shady deals among the less well-policed systems. The universe is divided into two main power blocks, the Federation and the Empire. So getting into trouble with one can put you in good stead with the other.
The sense of freedom Frontier gives you is glorious, and you have a detailed and truly enormous game area in which to frolic. The 3D system used to create the universe is excellent, you can adjust the level of detail to suit, and the ships and planets are wonderfully detailed.
The downside is speed, on an A on the higher detail level it gets very jerky and slow. Frontier really benefits from a faster Amiga such as an A The sound is not at all bad though with plenty of effects and some stirring classical music. The game is controlled by a combination of keyboard and mouse or joystick. Flying about in space is weird at first because there is no up and no down, and battles can easily turn into a spinning frenzy as you try and bring your guns to bear.
The navigation is handled very well, although it is a real pain if you do not use the automatic pilot. The game is well constructed and nothing is particularly complicated, so once you have read through the manual once and tried out a few flights you will have the hang of it. It is best to start with a spot of commodity trading then build up to a couple of the simpler missions to get some dosh together for better ship before you try anything really dodgy.
