Escape Velocity Override: Escape? - Naw, that's overidden

Sat, 18 Aug 2001 11:14:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unit11 - Overide is actually a sequal, but it starts a lot like the original. You have just enough money to buy a shuttle, and go space exploring. In this one, however, there seem to be more pirates. Not such a bad thing, just hire an escort or two - if your real...

Escape Velocity Override: A great classic

Sat, 14 Jul 2001 02:45:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author volrath - I first played Escape Velocity (the original) several years ago. The sequel (Escape Velocity: Override) was essentially the same game only different content (weapons, universe, storyline). The first was more exciting only because it was a new thing,...

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 13:24:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author merc13 - Escape Velocity Override is easily the best piece of Macintosh shareware in existence. It is a space action game, with some strategy to boot. In it you pilot your ship and run missions, make trade routes, battle with foes, or plunder ships. The freedom...

Escape Velocity Override: Resistance... is futile

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 16:04:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bobthedin0saur - Some people complain that this game features an old-fashioned top-down viewpoint... well, maybe so, but this is a game from the good old days. From when 'fun' meant challenging gameplay rather than a 3D gawpfest. It's simple to play, but hard to master...

Escape Velocity Override: EV Override Ate My Life

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 11:54:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trona1 - Ok. I'll admit it: I'm a bit compulsive. I cannot drop a task until it is finished.

So when I first downloaded EV Override, I became immediately obsessed with completing each mission... Obsessed with exploring the galaxy... Obsessed with...

Escape Velocity Override: EV Override - A game worth your time?

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 12:19:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - The game is amazing! Combining elements of strategy, financial know-how, space shoot-em-ups and exploration, the game has it all.

In the beginning of the game, you start off as a lone pilot, with a pretty crappy semi-obsolete shuttle. As you...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Daystorm - Three years ago, my desk consisted of the usual boyish clutter...

Escape Velocity Override: Excellent Game

Thu, 11 May 2000 23:48:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DJC750 - This is a truly excellent game. From the beginning, the game is what you make it out to be. Do you want to trade goods or run missions, or both? Later on, you can start to choose allegiances to one or more of several different factions, each with...

Wed, 10 May 2000 21:27:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - So many choices

The object and basis of this space action game is entirely what you make of it. Whatever you decide to do later you start out with a small ship without weapons. A skillful pilot can buy a small blaster and jump right in,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Long ago, in the days of college, I purchased a license for what I believed to be the finest game for Macintosh, Escape Velocity. Ambrosia Software's epic was one of my favorite pastimes for about 2 years. In fact, I attribute the inordinate amount of...
