I was surprised that EVN rated lower than the other 3 (and fewer people voted on it). But just so that everybody knows (I'm sure some of you already knew that).:)

Those statistics don't surprise me very much. EV has been around much longer than EV:O or EV:N and has had time to accumulate more and more votes. In it's hayday, EV was a revolutionary breakthrough in the gaming industry. It was an open-engine shareware game that provided more replay ability than most commercial games of it's time. EV:O and EV:N, although both better in terms of features, still rely on the old EV formula of game design. This aged combination has made them less and less groundbreaking in the eyes of gamers, attributing to their lower user ratings. To most of us in the EV community, EV:N may be a better game but there are many who have just downloaded it for the first time who feel they've been presented with an antiquated playing style and outdated graphics. Just try comparing EV:N to today's space shooters like the Rogue Squadron series. By comparison, they're old, clunky, and graphically uninspired. A new generation of gamers is upon us that don't have the attention span to discover the shining qualities underneath the aging visage of the top-down sprite based gaming platform.
