I was never a big fan of Sword of Sodan either, but it did look well polished graphically. I'll give the game that.

Every now and again I go for a spin on Elite or Frontier... I guess I ought to dig out Elvira and have a play with her again.

I wish I would still be able to play Elite, I guess without a manual, I wouldn't know how to navigate and which keys to use for different tasks.

Frontier isn't as hard to pickup without access to a manual, thanks to the icons. But I'm about to put the pdf's of the Frontier manuals on the site that Teho originally made for the old site so you will then have access to the manuals for that one
I also have the original of Elite Plus on the Amiga and will be scanning that manual in soon too.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

How is Frontier in a direct comparison to Elite? I only played it to test, but never got into it. If someone wants, make a comparison thread with screenshots and pro/contra. I always liked Elite and played it a lot and quite enjoyed the huge freedom and planets to explore. But how does Frontier really compare graphically, complexity, quantity and quality? I really would like to know.

I'd love to do that, except that for me it's the other way around. I never really played Elite, only tested it some after having played Frontier. For some strange reason, allthough I got hold of a lot of games for the C64 and Amiga back in the day I somehow managed to never have Elite in any shape or form. So can't do a comparison, sorry.Originally Posted by Demon Cleaner

I haven't played the original Elite much either, so I'm afraid I can't help you regarding the comparison, Demon. Although, I must say that Frontier is an excellent game - I used to spend hours a time playing it.
