Play Frontier: Elite II Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Frontier: Elite II is a groundbreaking space simulation and sequel to the iconic Elite, expanding the universe with deeper mechanics and a more immersive open-world experience. Set after humanity’s victory in the Thargoid War, the galaxy is now divided between the militaristic Federation and the slave-trading Empire, locked in a fragile ceasefire. As the grandchild of the original protagonist, you begin with minimal resources and the freedom to forge your own path—whether as a trader, mercenary, miner, or faction loyalist. The game introduces a vast array of ships, each tailored to different playstyles, from nimble fighters to heavy freighters, alongside improved 3D graphics that marked a leap from its predecessor’s wireframe visuals.

Faction allegiance plays a key role, with the Federation and Empire offering distinct missions and restrictions, such as the Empire’s tolerance of slavery or the Federation’s strict laws. Your choices affect access to territories, trade opportunities, and enemy encounters, adding strategic depth. While the core gameplay revolves around trading, combat, and exploration, Frontier: Elite II stands out for its ambitious scale, realistic Newtonian physics, and the sheer freedom it offers players in a dynamic, politically charged galaxy.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
