Real physics! Thousands of planets! Hundreds of trade goods! Unfortunately, combat was as hard as jousting on ice, and the graphics ran only slightly faster than the amazing magazine screen-shots. ——————————————————————————————————1/3—— REVIEWED BY CEDRIC SETTLE TUZZLE: UNSCRAMBLE THE PICTURE! p350 Letters Compies Our Charts Club 440P473 Teletext 473 May26 08:11:20 ————————— ————————————————————————— When you flew away from Earth in Frontier, you found the galaxy was just a featureless random jumble, with an occasional ship to shoot while you waited for the real game to start. And waited...until it dawned - that WAS the game! No secret missions, no stories - the only bugs werin't Thargoids, but programming faults. So you told your mate it was great so he'd swap it for his old copy of Elite! ——————————————————————————————————4/3—— REVIEWED BY CEDRIC SETTLE SEE ENGLAND/SCOTLAND AS A VIP p475 Ljttets Compies Our Charts Club 440P473 Teletext 473 May26 08:17:43 Frontier Amiga GAME TYPE: Space trading/combat NEAREST MODERN-DAY EQUIVALENT: First Encounters MOST MEMORABLE FEATURE: Lack of memorable features.
