You could always send it off to someone else to fix! Mark at Retroclinic should be able to sort it.

Does it work?

Thanks!

Took me just over a year, but that is now done.

Welcome! As a regular eBayer - yes someone will buy them. I personally mostly buy ZX81s to do up. I almost exclusively buy untested ones as these are the only ones that ever go cheap enough to be worth the effort. Prices can vary enormously from sale to sale with seemingly little reason. There are a...

Welcome! I wish I still had my beeb from BITD.

Still have my ZX81 though, so not all bad!

I will do but I need to remember who I got the original files from, ask them if I can pass them on and then extract them onto an image.

I’m not sure to be honest. The disc image was provided by someone on here. I will have to have a look back and see.

Ah! That makes sense! Only having sold (a lot of) refurbished one-offs I have never had to use variations.

I never search by category, just keywords.

What do you mean by variations?

Welcome!

I played Elite to death BITD but only really came across Elite A relatively recently. It certainly looks to be a serious technical achievement. Is that the fascination?

Nice! I think beer is essential to many endeavours.

Nice!

I had put a comedy bid of £10 on that one. Mostly so I remembered to check what it went for!

I managed to squeeze a seemingly reasonable parser into my SITC game. In theory it would support something like SHOOT THE WEREWOLF WITH THE SILVERBULLET THEN TAKE IT’S PELT AND GO SOUTH. It would just split the sentence into an array of individual commands based on AND / THEN etc. and parse them one...

Excellent project!

I also didn’t play this BITD but have recently read The Hobbit with my son. I mentioned that there was a game of the book on one of my ‘old computers’ which we played but he found it hard going even knowing how the book goes.

Welcome Jez!

If you fancy a go at something annoying try this one:

I prefer crt but have to use lcd for (lack of) space reasons.

My Motorhead induced tinnitus drowns out any noises.

Great setup and Merry Christmas!

Apparently a lot of people liked the combat, I guess it was a little Marmite like.

Regardless I’m up to Mostly Harmless now! Progress!

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to find the time to read it properly.

Agreed. I got great frame rate on my PC but could not do the combat.

I tried it on my unexpanded Atari ST a couple of years ago. It was seconds per frame rather than frames per second.

With the new combat tricks it is a lot less annoying. Will see if I can anywhere with it now.

I was very excited when I saw a copy of Frontier Elite II in a games shop back in the 90s and immediately bought it. It ran superbly on my 486 DX4 100 on maximum detail etc. I remember marvelling at the scenery as I flew away from Merlin and up into the sky and then space. And with music too! Having...

Thanks to some assistance from RobC I am up and running!
Shame it won’t run on the Elk - it takes up so much less space on my desk…

Think I will give up for a while.

Although looking at my working image:
That is a 286 version not 186…

After much faffing with images and my (now nearly dead due to bent pins) CF card reader I got various working in BeebEM DOS files on my CF card:


Hmmm. Try a different source image and I get one of these two results.
