Elite / Frontier 8bit, 16bit or 32bit

OK all, which platform do you prefer for your Elite playing enjoyment?

8bit - Beeb, Speccy, C64, Amstrad etc...
16bit - Amiga, ST, etc...
32bit - Archimedes

For me, it has to be 8bit. Original Beeb version, or the C64. I play these the most.

I just have to have the flicker, and the wireframe.

8bit - Beeb and Speccy FTW.

(The C64 was rubbish! )

Wow this takes the pressure off the other threads

 

[Memnoch]

64bit for me, all the way.

 

[DWorth]

32bit, Amiga 1200.

ZX Spectrum for me, but I'll give the BBC its due for being the original platform.

The 8-bit versions are the true 'Elites'. A triumph of coding over constraints.

Cheers,

Drew.

I'm with you on that.

I had the Electron version, sadly missing the suns and the hyperdrive.

A 32 bit Amiga A4000/060 + Frontier Elite II = gaming nirvana!

Has to be 8-bit! The Amstrad CPC version was the first I played, though I have to admit the 32-bit Arc Elite holds a soft spot for me too.

Amiga 1200 32bit with a 040 processor and additional ram HDD for me running Frontier.

Played Elite on Spectrum 48k the most since BBC Micro was by far too expensive. A rich mate and boarding school had one to fiddle about.

16 & 32bit are a nice addiction but they had theirs repetitive flaws compare to 8bit.
