General:What is Escape Velocity & EV Override?

Escape Velocity spans a number of genres, combining elements of classic "trading" games, arcade space shoot-outs, and strategy simulations. Whether you choose to build a trading empire, aid the Rebellion in a civil war, or strike out on your own as a ruthless pirate, Escape Velocity provides a multitude of options for the game connoisseur. This open-ended game play allows each player to chart their own course as they play. There is no "right" way to play Escape Velocity, as long as you have fun.

EV Override is Ambrosia's huge follow up to the classic Escape Velocity. Much like the original game, you are cast as a pioneering space captain with only a small shuttlecraft, a bit of money, and a strong sense of destiny. But the similarity ends there.

EV Nova is the biggest of the three. It features a much larger, all new universe and huge advances in the game engine, including glowing 16 bit graphics. Seeing is believing.
