(To probably start another flame war) What did you make of Frontier? The
original was slightly before my time (got into computers and particularly
Speccys in around 1988) but Frontier on the Amiga had me hooked for months
on launched.
Still have the PC version around, although it's overly bugged and picky
about hardware and DOS memory requirements etc. Frontier Developments have
talked about releasing the source at some point, but as it's pure x86 asm
we won't see any great Linux ports in a hurry... :/
