Frontier: Elite II (1993)
Genres:Adventure, Simulator
Themes:Open world, Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Frontier: Elite 2 is, of course, the sequel to Elite and it continues in much the same way. You have a ship and limited funds, and nowhere to go but out into space. Trade, fight, hunt criminals, work for the various governments, anything goes in Frontier. There are few, if any, limits on what you can do or where you can go. And Frontier's universe (with approx. 100,000,000,000 planets and moons) is so big you'll never see the end of it.Show more

The sequal to "David Brabens" first "realistic" space-exploration, trading and combat simulation. Dozens of totally different space-ships, all earnable and individually equipabble with tools, equipment, weapons, cargo-bays, passenger-cabins and everything you can imaginably require on a multifunctional transport-, mining- and exploration-vehicle. Thouaands of star systems with own economies and dependencies. A game soo complex and varied, that AI will not be able to design something similiar within the next 500 years.
The entire universe on one disk. Simply amazing.
I have spent many hundreds of hours playing this game. I still do this on my Amiga 1200.
The creation of this game was the beginning of advanced strategic and commercial games in space. Plus a military theme, piracy, ranks, bribery, something fantastic. I know, Elite was the first, but it was Frontier that opened up space to us.
One of the few games from my youth thanks to which I could escape from the world around me and immerse myself in space.... The first amazing feat of programmers because, as I remember well, it fit on a 1.44 floppy disk and had an incredibly large area on which you could move. My Amiga is with me to this day. I remember this one unforgettable music that can now be found on YT “Frontier Elite 2 Main Theme Remake from the Uncle Art Film” and it still evokes fond memories.
I loved this game so much I couldn't wait to get home from school or say football practice/game to play it. But especially it helped me to get through those boring (school) days.
This were perhaps the first ever game I ever played that had open world and where my actions mattered/had consequenses. At least it were first that I can remember that were not just linear (like Wings Commander though failing some missions had some outcomes), or just pure "run to edge of screen slashing enemies".
I had no regrets I missed first Elite because of this. And I promise GOG, if you bring this game (and "First Encounters: Elite", pretty please!) to my PC with kb+mouse, no price will make me to wait for a sale, and judging from Elite:Dangerous community/forums I'm not only one.
I can't tell how many hours i spent on this game. Back to that time, i played on Atari ST. No GPU, no 3D chip, no 3D hardware, only 1MB of memory, 8 MHz. And this game, full 3D with rounded geometry, special effects, planetary landing, real physics, thousands of systems, billions of planets. I can't remember any other game with this level of gameplay, technicity, possibilities on the market. You know what ? I still have the (paper) User Manual :D
Frontier: Elite II is a mind-blowing space sim that feels way ahead of its time. The sheer scale is staggering—an entire galaxy to explore, with real star systems and Newtonian physics that make space travel feel incredibly immersive. The freedom is unmatched; you can be a trader, a bounty hunter, a smuggler, or just roam the stars.
That said, the game isn’t exactly welcoming. The controls are tricky, and combat is brutal if you don’t master inertia. The missions are repetitive, and the economy can feel unbalanced. But once you get past the learning curve, there's nothing quite like watching a planet rise over the horizon as you glide down for a landing.
It’s not perfect, but for its time, it’s a masterpiece.
