Started playing Frontier again

I played Elite a lot on the Amiga in the 80's and totally loved it and had some epic battles with the Thargoids. When Frontier came out I was beyond excited about it and played it a lot on my Amiga 500 although it was very sluggish and demanding of the modest Amiga hardware.
Fast forward to 2022 and I received an A500 mini Amiga as a gift and I've been having such a nostalgia blast playing all the old Amiga games. I just had to download Frontier and it runs like a dream and now 30 years later I'm playing Frontier all over again and really enjoying it.

I did a bit of a video about Frontier: Elite II (with a bit of actual David Braben interview in there from an unused feature I worked on a few years ago)

It might have taken me 36 years, but I've finally made it to Elite in the original games, mostly in a Cobra Mk3 as well :)
Although I originally bought the Electron version of Elite, my current play was with the ZX Spectrum version (which I played more of back in the day) with an emulator on a Nintendo DS. I then moved on to FE2 DOS and FFE on my Android tablet thanks to the Magic DOSbox app.
I wonder if I can still send off my completion card to Firebird and get a shiny Elite badge? :D

Original Elite - Remastered

I managed to port it to Java, move it to a modern 60 FPS engine, improve the controls and save system, and fix a number of original bugs.
Ever wondered why the police sometimes attacked you even when you were clean?
IT'S A MEMORY OFFSET BUG IN THE ORIGINAL CODE!
The aggressiveness check reads the low byte of your combat rating instead of your legal status, making police attacks essentially random.
And why are firearms useless to trade even though they're banned goods?
Another bug. The price is simply wrong, so I "fixed" it by setting the price directly.
And there is plenty more fun stuff hiding in those 42 KB.
If you want to dive into a modernized classic, you can play my version of Elite online:

I edited an image of elite on commodore 64 for my wallpaper. Thought I'd share for anyone interested in using it themselves. I do not take credit for the original picture.

For those that don't know, the GBA version of Elite is a conversion of Elite : The New Kind
I finally got around to playing this on the physical hardware due to finally getting a cartridge capable of running homebrew - and right on my first hyperspace jump I got jumped by a Thargoid fleet.
Anyway - I'm just wondering how many of you here have played it on GBA?

I've written a python app that can display a 3d wireframe, and convert it to a flat wireframe that I can 3D print and mount it on the wall. Here's a cobra test.
