EV Nova

Fine game, well written. Bought it years ago. One thing I don't understand is why the 1.1.1 update was necessary. I had no problems with registration, pilot files were saved automatically anyway. But I'm still using Mac OS 10.4 on my PowerBook (10.5 on my G5), so I'm not updating this time.

Why, oh why is the game still played in such a small window? If it were truly full screen, I'd buy this new version in a flash. If I'm missing something here, please let me know! TIA

Here is the only digital game I have ever bought that has not faded away --- Bought it 10ish years ago and still find it "new" due to the various ways you can play it. The enhancements link opens the door to minor and major changes to freshen it.

Still one of my favorite games of all time. I'd love to see an iPhone port.

Version 1.1 is on their website: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/ It's a universal binary .app package. Note that the "Nova Files" folder is now embedded within the app. It's amazing to see someone at Ambrosia put some time into EV Nova so many years after its release. Thanks for the effort, guys. If you ever change your minds about reviving the EV "franchise," I have little doubt there will be a following.

Worth every last sent I spent. I've been playing this game for over three years now and although some of it gets boring, there are always new plugs to try and experiment with. 10 out of 10.

THIS IS A COOL GAME

Nova is even better than Override and the original. It has more in-depth story lines, more ships, missions, better visuals than any other game that I have seen in the genre and has plenty of plug-ins to enhance gameplay. Great game.

This is the Best game that I have ever played, it is so fun. I love the feeling of flying around in a Raven and Melting every ship in sight!!!

Excellent game, made even better because of the plugins. Very much worth $30

A truly amazing feet, even from the very start of the series. It gives amazingly addictive gameplay, unlinear and compelling story lines (of which there are many), easy to manipulate controls, and custumization that blows away the best of mech games. Another cool feature is the whole plugin bit, were for free you can change the entire universe of the game...endlessly (as long as there are people to make them). Replay factor? Infinite. How many things can you do in this game? You can do simple missions, like delivering things here and that. You can attack disable and board other vessels (stealing everything they have and maybe even capturing their ship if you're lucky). you can join one of the many goverments either being a hero or a villain, or if you wanted you could be a cargo shipper, raking in huge amounts of money. The music could do a little work, maybe some epic peices in the backround durring some of the missions? But who would notice it anyways when you are warring with a screen full of ships. Graphically this game is great for what it is. The polygon ships do wonders for the atmosphere, and all the weaponry effects are very cool. The frame rate bearly ever drops below 30, leaving for a very smooth gaming experience. For a mere 30$, how could you not get this game, even if just to support the crew that took 75000 man hours to create you this masterpiece.

Amazing graphics, great ships Best Game in "light years"!!!

Simply one of the most addictive games out there. The completely un-linear gameplay sucks you in from the first moments.

I just registered the game thank god no more captian hector!!!!!! darn guy keept on kill'n me THIS GAME ROCKS

this game is cool beyond cool for 30 bucks it is a steal i mean even if you win the scenarios there is somany addons you could play for a century never doing anything twice(very unlikly though) i had it till my dad took it off and the hole family played

the game is great and full of very nice graphics if you are registered and want to inhance the game go to http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/addons

Ambrosia should make a online game combineing all 3 EV games

One of the best games i have ever played. EV Nova has a rich and amazing storyline. This game is playable for months and with all the plug-ins it never gets old.

A REALLY cool game... The one thing I didn't like was the shareware enforcer, capain Hector. Unless you have a great ship, then you're toast after 30 days...

Whoosh. That's what I thought when I first played EV Nova. The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay is unimaginable. It is the best game I have ever played. The only two things i'd like to add would be background music and online play. I would recommend getting this game. Ambrosia has done it again. With many weapons, ships, and missions to choose from, this is an easy candidate for the best game on a mac.
