heh... i'm curious, and sick of the "show off your desktop" threads i always see filled with MS Windows, so apple fans unite! Show off your docks! (Can you tell I haven't installed quicksilver on this computer yet?)

EV 1 was the bwst! Nova's pretty sweet too, but man, i spent DAYS playing EV, and i was in hardcore mode too! getting blown up SUCKED, one time i got shot in a system with no planets and just floated around in my escape pod forever. damnable pirate controlled systems.
I liked EV Override only because of all the awesome plug-ins that were made for it. Otherwise, that game was a real bitch. Don't get me wrong, it's still awesome, but getting every single little thing is pretty damn hard. Hell, I was happy when I finally filled up the map.
Nova is pretty good, but I have some problems with the "They're somewhere in this area" missions. Because, apparently, you know where these people are in the last few games, but you can't find them in the third? It gets really annoying.
Also, nothing was more awesome than the Alien mission in the original Escape Velocity. Especially afterwards when Alien Fighters would randomly and rarely appear out of nowhere, and everyone, the Rebels, Pirates, and Confederates, even if they were in the heat of a massive battle, would drop everything and chase after the Alien Fighter. We found a way to kill it, once. We got him locked in a tractor beam, kept completely still, and just kept our turrets firing, and it was eventually going to die. But, one of the other ships in the system had to fire a fucking rocket and knocked it out of my tractor beam. Then his sheilds shot right back up, and I just went on a rampage, killing everyone else in the system. Pissin' me off.

Mine!
There's no way you commonly play all three versions of Escape Velocity.
I know, I'm a bad person.
