Elite / Frontier A treat for Frontier Elite 2 fans, this coming Saturday - March 13th 2021

Folks,

To mark the end of my FE2 playthrough I have organised a little treat for fans to go at the end of the stream. To my knowledge this has not been done before and I think you'll like it. Sorry for hype/tease.

Hopefully see you there 1-3pm UK time, twitch.tv/drewwagar

Cheers,

Drew.

Got to watch the recorded stream just now. Fun one.
And a huge coincidence: I happen to wear the "Uncle Art" T-shirt I got for pledging in the "Uncle Art: A Temporal Shift" Kickstarter...

I caught the tail end of the stream - and it even finished in plenty of time for me to chill before work.

I think a nod should be given to Mark Watson - who reverse engineered the Amiga intro for FE2 that was used by @drew in the final stream.

GitHub - watsonmw/fe2-intro: "Frontier: Elite 2" renderer & audio reverse engineered. Runs on Amigas with RTG. Also comes with SDL bindings so it can be run on PC.

It was released in May last year and is the best looking intro I’ve seen - hires and with a proper horizon planetside.

Updated the description to give credit to Mark.
