There really isn't much graphical content othet than a drag strip, lol. The worse part is tt when you run out of credits you ave to actually BUY more. But it's sooooo addicting, it's almot like an exreamly crappy Grand Turesmo(sp?) in the aspect that you buy cars, soup em up, and possibly sell em. And you actually race REAL people.

oh, and theres this game atshocwave.com called 2 Fast 2 urious(got changd to Red Line Rumble acording to my friend). At one point, 3/ o m Web Design clas(inluting the teacher) were playing that

Prolly the pokemon gameboy games, and that castle game, I forgot the level I'm on. Aliens versus Predator 2 sucks horribly but it's addicting.

[SpecialBlend2786]

Alien Versus Predator 2 is a great multi-player game, but single player can get a tad boring at times.

Games like Bust-A-Move and Doctor Robotnics Mean Bean Machine were so stupid, but yet so incredibly addicting and fun!!

galactica. man, I can't remember how many quarters went down the hole playing that game, jockeying with pals for top score.

One word, Everquest.

[Lethargic]

The sad thing is I have every single game mentioned so far. and I play them all!! Kinda says alot about my life

Anyways, you cant forget Counterstrike. That game is sooo pointless, but it's fun. That and the old final fantasy games for SNES. Those are horribly addicting.

If I get out of the Castle game all together can I get back in my saved game? If so, HOW?

Omg, EVO on my sisters old Mac. I played that thing so damn much back in the day. Wasted my life on it. I wish they would port it to PC all of them EVA, EVO and Nova(which I haven't tried yet but will soon). The first two aren't high quality graphics but it was fun. Like old regular Nintendo which those games seemed so much harder and funner due to the long, drawn out, all about graphics of todays games. Well exclude racing and fighting games like Soul Caliber 2, and NeedForSpeed:Underground.

boy, the graphics were too sweet for some of the mods for those games, don't go bashing 16 bit graphics . You don't know what some 3d modeling wizards did with that. It'd blow your mind . I doubt they'll port, b/c the modular nature of the EV/EVO/EVN engines are based strictly on the Mac architecture. Heck, they had extra long development for EVN b/c they were having to remake the engine for the OSX architecture, and to take full advantage of it. If they ported to PC, then you couldn't use the mods that were originally for the mac, b/c of the critical architecture differences .

Also, talk to any of the EV/EVO/EVN modders (I dabbled in this, but never released anything. never had the time. I DID work in a few modding teams, but teams never seemed to work. the best stuff was always done by single individuals, just like the original EV), and they'll tell you the most useful tools they used were ResEdit and EV templates for ResEdit. FYI for those of you who don't know macs, ResEdit is a resource editor made by Apple FOR the macs. This was one tool Matt used when making EV, and is integral to any modding done for EV/EVO/EVN. When we modders talk about ship, outfit, junk, misc, fleet, and other things, we're refering to hex and binary resources in the data files for EV/O/N. These are only accessable by hacking into the files via ResEdit.

Man, I loved the EV/O/N culture. Great bunch of folks, and fairly tightly knit, though very large. Much like AO: Brought together by a common love for a very well made and very inexpensive and freely modular (all mods were freeware. the only shareware was the game itself, and at it's most expensive, it was only $35) game published by Ambrosia software. Just like we at AO are brought together by a common love for the sport of paintball and in particular by a love of the automag made by AGD .

counter-strike used to be the best game ever... that is until they came out with stupid steam
It was so addicting just to buy a cool gun and run aound and shoot each other for hours. Now its just retarded cause of all the problems steam has given me.

What if Ambrosia could allow another developer to make EV, from the bottom up, in Windows for a small percentage of royalty? Even though it wouldn't be able to mod it like the Mac version, probably won't be high selling except to those who have played it before, and probably not worth the time. But we can only dream to those who own a PC.*sigh*

EV w.o mods? You gotta be KIDDING ME! That's what made it so great! You could always be going on new adventures, fighting new battles, exploringing new planets, flying new ships, meeting new species, etc. W/o mods, EV would've flopped. And it's just too expensive to mod a new EV, and then it wouldn't be EV. And remember, EV is not exactly Ambrosia's. Ambrosia merely bought the publishing rights, EV is still the property of it's creator. And it's been a LONG known fact that there will be NO windows port. It's been said since the beginning.
