Description

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.

Easily the best in the Elite series, although a bit buggy at times Stargazer (99) unrated

Trivia

The docking sequence for spaceships in this game is a near perfect imitation of the one showed in the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey". The "medium"-sized space station (that is: the "circle" or "ring") is nearly identical to the 2001-Station. You may also listen to the same music ("Blue Danube" waltz) while docking. Very nice feature!
