The modern day equivalent of Elite 2 is the X# games. I was pleasantly surprised with X3: Reunion (http://www.egosoft.com/games/x3/info_en.php). Ok, it wasn't as massive as Frontier was (although it is pretty huge), but I think anyone who enjoyed Frontier, will a least have a bit of fun with X3. It has a similar structure in terms of it's gameplay elements (trading\combat\missions\ship upgrades) and also adds in the ability to build your own space stations. I get the similar sense of freedom I got with Frontier when playing X3.
Another of Peter Molyneux's masterpieces, I spent many weeks playing Theme Park. Watered down cola + salty chips = lotsa money.
And no mention of influential Amiga games would be complete without a mention of Frontier Elite 2, the greatest game I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
