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.

There's the one PC ripoff game. I forget what it's called.

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?
MICROSOFT SUCKS!!!!

Oh and welcome to the webboards. You should check out the Boozarama Bar. Do whatever you want there
EVula's Edit: This is the EV board, not the "blindly insulting a third-party software and hardware manufacturer that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand" board. Please refrain from randomly insulting MS in a topic that they weren't even being discussed in the future.

Dunno.

Explain to me how three rather ugly apple images (that were antialiased to a white background, but being displayed on a dark one) have ANYTHING to do with the topic at hand, and I'll give you a more detailed response. 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.

Yeah that. :mad:
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)
EV is the best.
