Also Frontier Elite II runs great in DOSBox and is my favourite in the series. I believe it was the last big commercial game to be written entirely in assembler and fit on a single floppy disk.


Check out frontvm

https://sourceforge.net/projects/frontvm/

I put every version I could find there, it starts as a specialised emulator to run frontier based on the ST version, then it became a 68000 to i386 asm/C and then added in OpenGL rendering.

It’s pretty cool


That's brilliant, thanks for this!!


Comanche Maximum Overkill was written in assembly too, or at least the VoxelSpace engine was. It didn't fit on a single floppy disk though.
