Elite / Frontier Ancient Newbie

After playing the original Elite back in the mid eighties, on my CPC6128, and mastering the game, I moved onto PCs and then Continents, having to leave my beloved Amstrad behind in the UK.

Can anyone tell me what version is currently available for the PC market at all please? I would prefer as close to the original gameplay as possible.

Thanks in anticipation.
 
Hi Logicalman

Oolite is the main pc one now or Elite the new kind if you can find it.

you can play the old pc versions using dosbox or the Amstrad version using the winape emulator.

Have fun, then have a look at the Russian Mod thread.....
 
Personally, I recommend the sequels:

Frontier: Elite 2 (preferably DOS version ran under DOSBox, otherwise google "GLFrontier")

and

Frontier: First Encounters (JJFFE or aforementioned "Russian Mod" obligatory)

In case of trouble ask on the forum - I, or anyone else, will offer necessary assistance.

Have fun! :D
