anyone know if u can get frontier: elite 2 (amiga) for the pc????

many happy hours playing that game.


my speciality was destroying the police forces of entire planets. used to get a big old spaceship, slap on a whole load of shield generators, lasers and missiles and reign destruction on the f*****s.

hahahaha

misspent youth????? i think not!!

you sure can, and theyve released it as shareware

Or try the even better First Encounters, which is actually the same game, but with a (sort of) storyline to follow when you like and very special missions plus enhanced GFX. There is actually a Re-Engineered version named JJFFE.
Try google it or sumthin. This was made especially for windows

I actually preferred both Freelancer and X2 to those games. Both were utterly brilliant and very, very well made.

Although X2's plot was lame.

In fact, Freelancer was better.

I tried Freelancer (and also Privateer 2 a few years ago). Nice graphics but doesn't do it for me :( I'm still waiting for THE Elite 2 beater. I don't care for ANY story. I don't care if the graphics are crap (better if they're not). I want it entirely left open to travel the entire universe, and a zillion things to do (and everything should be possible to do, unlike Elite 2) hehe

try battlecruiser mellenium by dreamcatcher for the one player thing, is cool but has problems , and i lost my serial so im gonna hafta be naughty to play it an i hate warez man, with a venom, so i guess im gonna hafta buy it again, :not_ok: :not_ok: :not_ok:
battlecruiser is cool, go for the gold edition, maybe buy it from them, at least that way you get all the patches only gripes i got with it is it wont work str8 from the box unpatched, an the radar is an awwfull 2d thing, the elite 2 radar is better!! an battlecruiser is from 2003!! u can go into roam the universe mode in it though.
the other game u wanna check out an definatly one that will fullfill your needs is eve, eve is like the space mmporg tradin an fightin game. i got it but i had mah credit cards sliced so im stayin away from it for now

Freelancer better than Elite 2 or FFE? YOU, sir, are on CRACK. Freelancer was fun, but had NO dynamic economy, NO non-combat missions, NO reason to get a freighter...need I go on? The only way to really make money in FF was to take repetative combat missions and sell the crap you find. Freelancer isn't really a space sim, it's like diablo in space, only your character is actually a ship.

Check out Eve Online

Yeah, check EVE Online out if you like falling asleep at the screen, or if you like a little interactivity with your screensaver. You want the REAL Elite-type MMO, take a look at Jumpgate, a game I've been playing for 4 years, and one that will give your joystick a workout rather than your mouse

Oh, here's my review of the game, to give you an idea of what it's like:

Enjoy!

Now.. That does look good.

Eve Online does get a bit tiresome, especially back in the days where all you would do was mine, mine and mine. I always wanted it to be more like the Elite games ;)
