GLFrontier is a software clone of the classic Atari ST game, Frontier 2 by the legendary creator David Braben. The game has been updated with modern technology and now runs much faster than its original version. The developers have disassembled the game, removed OS calls and hardware access, and compiled it into a C or native x86 format, resulting in faster gameplay without requiring 68K emulation.
In recent times, GLFrontier has undergone some significant enhancements, allowing it to draw images with OpenGL at high resolutions with 8xAA, amongst other features. This marks a significant improvement over the game's original graphics. GLFrontier employs the popular SDL library and can be compiled on both Windows (mingw) and Linux, although it may work on other UNIX systems as well.
To ensure broader platform compatibility, the developers invite users to test the game on big-endian architectures. Fans of Elite 2 and nostalgic gamers looking for an updated version of the classic Atari ST game are sure to appreciate GLFrontier's slick, modern gameplay and graphics.
