What do you think they could have called EV other than Escape Velocity?

Considering the fact the EV is much better than "The Great Space Adventure of <your name here>" I think they did a good job.

Something like "The Great Space Adv...."

Wait...

Seriousily, I think... Well, this happens to everyone I guess. It was "Interstellar <something>" I forget. :redface:

Well, you get the idea of the topic, and you guys are creative, so let's get the ball rolling.

Hell, I'd buy two copies!

I remember now, it was "Interstellar Battles"

I like Luke's better.

Wasn't it at one point going to be called Mercenary?

How about 'Kestrel"?

I think EVO should be "Escape Velocity 2: Red and Yellow Phallus of Death," in reference to the Igazra.

Uhm... The Igazra has no red on it... Granted, the SAEs it fires are red-ish...

Here is a serious suggestion for chance (nost werent): EV was going to be called Terminal Velocity, but it was changed to Escape Velocity because some one already had that name.

I am eager to try to answer mission questions

It was a game for the PC, nothing like EV(Thank God!). I got it free off a disc from a PC mag, had about 15 games that were free(I read it as meaning"We can't sell these, Take them PLEASE!).It ran ok for a 233 iMac running VPC 2 w/98SE. Mike aka Vice Admiral Salter in BOTK

There was also a Mac version made. I might still have the demo somewhere.
