@ross @slp me too! Someone disassembled the Atari version and made a Linux build that used GL: https://github.com/pcercuei/glfrontier . I haven’t played even *that* for over ten years but from what I recall it’s a blast

@ross @slp i’d add that the sequel has a lot of merit: there are some decompile/recompile projects for Linux for that as well (jjffe, glffe, etc): they’re all quite janky but there’s still fun to be had

@ross @slp oh i forgot I blogged about this (ten years ago!) https://jmtd.net/log/ffe/ maybe it’s time I fire it up again

@mart_brooks @slp one of them that I’ve really never got on with (and iirc you did) is elite: dangerous

@mart_brooks @slp that’s a good point. Despite all its other shortcomings, it’s the narrative elements of ffe that make it compelling to me
