Files
Here are plenty of files to gorge yourself on. Many of the files on offer have been contributed by various people, and they are credited in the descriptions of those files. The various versions of the Frontier game itself, bar the shareware version, are not strictly legal, but are offered because of their usefulness to non-English speakers. Their use is ultimately limited anyway, since any post-Win9x operating system will encounter problems when trying to run Frontier. Please do not e-mail me with any problems getting Frontier to run on your operating system. The fact of the matter is, Frontier is a very old game, designed to run on pre-Windows 95 machines. Just read below instead.
OpenGL Frontier
Unless you fancy a challenge, ignore the game versions offered in the Game section, and instead download OpenGL Frontier, which will run natively. The graphics have been improved, and the music and sound effects can also be added. Tom Morton's site has the necessary links to download the game for Linux and Windows. Before e-mailing with problems running Frontier, make sure you've tried OpenGL Frontier first.
