Escape Velocity

[Varia]

A nifty little space conquest game from Ambrosia. You fly around space doing cargo missions, ferrying passengers, fending off pirates, becoming a pirate, taking over the galaxy, etc. etc.

I've been playing it for around 10 years and I love it. It's 2d, it's fun, and it's like O:

There are three games in the series so far.

Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity: Override
Escape Velocity: Nova

The first two are only available on mac. Nova has been ported to PC and is the newest one. You can download plug-ins to play the other two game on your PC.

I'm going to let you know now that it's not free. There is a $30 registration fee for Nova that unlocks many things in the game, and lets you use the plug-ins to get the other two games. Well, I'm not really sure of it allowing use of the plug-ins, I didn't try to use them before I registered it. I actually just registered it today and am having a blast. There is no multiplayer/LAN. It is single-player only.

Have fun!
