I've played this game for literally hunderds of hours on my friend's Mac. The only problem is that I own a PC. I was just wondering if there are any games that are similar to this one for us Windows users?

There are plugins in the works that will allow Escape Velocity (Classic) and Escape Velocity: Override to be played on a PC, using Escape Velcoity: Nova for Windows.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; then lend the eye a terrible aspect....

There's the one PC ripoff game. I forget what it's called.
I rememeber a bunch of board members going and screwing the sites guestbook and message board up pretty bad...

You're probably thinking of Freelancer, which is, in no way, a rip off. The space trader genre has been around for decades. Why is it that every one of them is a rip off of Escape Velocity?

Oh and welcome to the webboards. You should check out the Boozarama Bar. Do whatever you want there

Until then, you'll just have to accept that they got removed.

Yups. But he was requesting Windows games... only one of those (Nova) fits the category.

Then he should look for that game that copied off EV so much it was scary.

Dude, it's not ripping off EV. The guys who made it have probably never even heard of ASW or EV. I, personally, saw nothing in Freelancer that indicates that it's a rip off; it's just your run-of-the-mill space trader game.

Whatever.

heh, why would anyone give a damn about an ev copycat? it doesn't hurt anyone, it's a "free country," and he's prolly some ****ty little 15 yr old programmer. flaming his board just makes the flamers angry and him pissed off/discouraged. in my mind, it would take an army to convince the ev community that another product is better, or even close. i know civility is lacking in most boards, but it's nice to have it here.
in my opinion, there are no comparable games on pc or mac. escape velocity : nova for windows is coming out soon (i heard rumors of july 10)
