Save games
A most exciting section of the site. Here are lots of varied Frontier save games to download, for both the PC and Amiga versions of the game.
Submissions
The majority of the save games here have been submitted to the site. If you have a game you're particularly proud of (maybe you're excessively wealthy or have an Elite rating with the highest rank in both navies) that you want to share with the rest of the galaxy, then please send it in. Any other interesting saves, such as planetary anomalies and the like, are welcome too.
Save game conversions
There is no program to convert save games between Amiga, Atari and PC versions. Additionally, only the Amiga and Atari save games will work with OpenGL Frontier. I expect a program to convert save games for use with other versions would be a very welcome addition to the community.

Rating is Elite Prince. |

| Jameson's Retirement | [CD32 only.] Hilmar's 'retirement save' because he's obtained all but the highest ranks, which is the goal for the next 80 years. "...Set in the Facece System on my new Home Camp Jameson." | Hilmar Johannsen |
