While we are on the topic of Elite what happened to that company that was porting Elite 3: First Encounters to the Amiga.

Pass on that.

I heard some discussion that David Braben was going to release the Frontier / FFE source code to the community, which would make an interesting project.  I'd love to see a prettied up version of Frontier that supports RTG being ported to 68k / PPC.

Hum,
last time i heard was that David Braben  was working on version 4...
But the other games have been released as open source from what i gather...see! (dead links) and HERE! (better)...

i much prefer the amiga version, but here's  a ADF  for WinUae

(and one of my saved games for you to peruse)

Elite 4 is almost as long coming as OS4!  There are magazine previews of Elite 4 going back to 2000 and there hasn't been any news in quite some time.  Maybe David Braben's resting on his laurels?

The old versions of Elite have been released as shareware, but I don't think DB has released the source code.
