    • program problems


      I have not played Escape Velocity in about two years, but not by choice--after I installed OS 8.1, it quit working. Now, I have OS 9 on an iMac, but it still won't run. Is this a common problem, is there a know solution?

    • this is something i have not heard of. when you open it do you get a message or error box, if so what does it say

      A jedi's strengh flows through the force
      luke do not underestimate the powers of the darkside
      I have acepted that you were once Anakin Skywalker my father
      young jedi only now do you truly understand the powers of the darkside

    • i think mine stopped somewhere around system 8.x, but i think it worked again with 8.5 (though slower), and now that i've got my g4 w/ system 9 it's working fine (could be the fact that the processor's 4 times as fast, though...)

      if tin whistles are made of tin, what's a fog horn made of?

    • Thanks for your responses. I tried to get it going by deleting my prefs files, setting the memory allocations to 15MB, even deleting my registration file, but to no avail--the startup progress meter goes partway across, then it crashes, showing an out-of-memory error and turning the screen colors wonky. Have any of you had it crash in this way?

      No, not THAT button!

    • Your data files may be corrupted, try reinstalling the game to a seperate folder, it should work fine.

    • if its 2 years since you played, what version do you have? You probably need to download the latest version:

    • Sorry, I've got the latest version -- 1.0.5. I'll try to reinstall the program.
