Frontier: First Encounters

Trivia

In the German gaming magazine PC Player (issue 01/1996) Frontier: First Encounters received a special award for the "Most Annoying Bugs in 1996".

David Braben and Ian Bell were the original authors of the first Elite back in the 80s. Braben made the third game without giving Bell credit or royalties to the space ships and other ideas he created that were reused in this game and had to sue Braben for payment.

This game was orginally intended to be an add on disk for the second game Frontier but because they rushed that game its engine could not handle expansion disks effectively so they rewrote the engine and released this. This game was also rushed and filled with numerous bugs that made its inital release unplayable.
