Took me forever to play Frontier as I had an Atari ST which was well and truly on its last legs by then. No shops stocked more than a couple of games, I was at Leicester for Uni and used to ring up game shops all across the area.
Finally, after months of trying, I found a shop in Peterborough that had one, so I jumped on a train, got off at the destination and excitedly ran to the game shop.
Wherupon they told me it had been sold.
I think it was another 7 or 8 years before I finally managed to play an emulated version of it...
So yeah, nice to see what I would have bought all those years ago!

I used to get 95% of all my Amiga games on Mail order.
My original A1200 I sold with Frontier and 100's of other games..
This past 12 months I have been re reacquiring my childhood Computers
The C=64 and Amiga
Got this for my C=64 two weeks ago
Yup what other game that's almost as old as I am would i pay £20 for?
As a fairly young member of this crowd (will turn 30 this Tuesday), seeing that keyboard overlay brought back very early memories of a submarine game my dad had called Silent Service for our PC.
I kept my original Elite, Frontier, and Federation of Free Traders boxed games even though I sold the computers and all the other games for them years ago.
They are the only 3 games I have left from my youth.
I just looked inside my Frontier box and noticed I even still have the store receipt! Paid £29.99 for it from The Games Store 28th October 1993
My Elite box still has the lenslock inside with instructions on how to use it...
Not from the Elite series, but definitely inspired by Elite was a game from 1989 called Federation of Free Traders (FOFT). Its another one I kept for sentimental reasons...
All 3 boxes still serve a purpose today... they're currently used as a temporary stand to raise my monitors height ....
