Download Frontier: Elite 2 - DOS game

Few games capture the feeling of “the galaxy is huge and you are spectacularly insignificant” quite like Frontier: Elite 2. Released in 1993, this ambitious sequel throws you into a realistically modeled universe where hundreds of star systems wait patiently for you to visit them—assuming you survive the trip. You start with a modest ship, a thinner wallet than you’d like, and the faint hope of becoming a legendary trader, explorer, or space pirate. Flying between planets involves real physics, which means docking can feel less like parking a car and more like wrestling a refrigerator in zero gravity. Yet that complexity is part of the charm. The game rewards patience, curiosity, and the occasional reckless decision involving cargo that may or may not be legal.

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Frontier: Elite II was published on a single floppy disk. For the Amiga version, this is a single 880 KB disk (disk 2 was only a selection of interesting saved games), and for the PC/DOS platform a 720 KB double density floppy.

Frontier was succeeded by First Encounters, which was available for DOS. No Amiga or Atari versions were released as by the time of its publication these platforms were no longer as profitable as they had once been.
