Frontier, Elite 2

[nadoom]

My favorite craft was the Boa freighter, its big enough to carry lots of slaves, battle weapons and open mechandise, and had a decent range. I also like the Imperial courier because it  looked good.

X- x tention X2 and X3 dont have the same feeling i dont get motivated after 1hr play. i can still play frontier 5h +

My favorite craft was the Boa freighter

the boa was cool as well but looked ugly

Times like this you wish you could just pop round for a cuppa and take a look, because I have never had any problems!

I run it on normal A500 mode (from quickstart menu), use kickstart 2.0, adjust chip mem to 1.0Mb, and then its no worries.

Do other games work ok? Could it be a dodgy kick rom, dodgy adf, ??

Not sure what the policy on roms here are, so to save me getting kicked out after only just joining I wont offer to send you mine unless it is allowed! If it isnt, I didnt mention it, ok?  :-D

By the way, is it just me or the combat is annoyingly often in the game ?

Yes, I agree entirely. Whilst at first I was impressed by the graphics and planets - the gameplay just wasn't as good as on the original elite. Also, I agree, £3-£5, is expensive for shareware.   :-)

Never got into Elite 2 - to me it was poorly designed as a game and control was utterly pathetic.

Still a big fan of the original Elite though. The X games come close, though they don't feel as "open ended" as Elite did. Then there's Oolite which is real cool if you liked the original. Maybe some enterprising coder could port it to the neo-Amigas.

Well it used to run fine from workbench, 1200 040 with JIT turned on.

if i turn JIT off it works fine, but not at a playable speed.

Gonna try to make an .adf of it and see if that works...
