Software Notes
From The Box	The original game, Elite, shook the computer games industry to its foundations as the first 3D polygon space simulation back in the mid 1980s. The game was an unprecedented success and grew to such cult status that games players formed their ‘ELITE’ Fan Club’. A feat yet to be repeated, the standard was set and gave rise to a multitude of sci-fi simulation ‘wannabees’. Now as popular as ever, this unique style of game has been taken to the limit with the astonishing FRONTIER – ELITE II. The most eagerly awaited sequel to date, FRONTIER pitches you far, far into the future to the year 3200. Civilisations have spread through the galaxy hundreds of light years from earth in all directions. Vast areas of the galaxy remain unexplored and with many thousands of worlds now settled in the cosmos, a rich and varied life of adventure awaits. Take the role of a space trader known to moonlight as an intergalactic mercenary and watch the Universe unfold before your very eyes. Features Beautifully animated introduction sequence A choice of classical music compositions to accompany your missions Due to the authors interest in astronomy, all the planets and moons of our star system and others (around 100,000,000,000) are genarated in accordance with current theories of planet formation Play the game in a varirty of ways inclusing manning your space craft through a massive 82 basic missions, or play without risking the mssions at all.
Version Notes	The Amiga and ST versions where almost pixel identical and based on very similar code. The Amiga version contained bugs that where removed on the ST because the ST version was released later. Because of this, and the ST’s faster processor, the game actually plays 10 to 15% faster on the ST than on the Amiga 500. On the ST, even an original 520, the game simulates 4096 colours on the screen. It does this by generating a palette every cycle to get the best possible use of the palette. For every frame it shows the best possible 16 colours so that it actually works in 4096 colours. The system used however causes some glitches when playing the game, for example, a ship may change colour as you approach, or polygons can disappear from view.
