Summary
The original game, Elite, shook the video games industry to its foundations as the first 3D space simulation back in the mid-eighties. The game was an unprecedented success and grew to such cult status that games players formed an Elite fan club. The standard was to set and give rise to a multitude of sci-fi sim wannabes.
Now as popular as ever, this unique style of game has been taken to the limit with the astonishing Frontier: Elite II. Frontier pitches you far, far into the future to the year 3200. Civilisations have spread through the galaxy hundreds of 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 on the role of a space trader known to moonlight as an intergalactic mercenary and watch the universe unfold before your very eyes.
