Frontier: Elite II

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.

Trivia

The CD-ROM version of this game was totally bogus. They just took the disk version (700kb), decompressed it (to then 900kb :) and pressed it on a CD. Nothing else. No intro cinematics, simply NO bonus material whatsoever - just the 900kb .exe file on a whole CD!

If this wasn't stupid enough: they even "forgot" to add the contents of the second floppy which included five or so savegames which could help beginners a lot :)
