| > Really? You should try it if you can, it's great. 'Override is on the list of classic Mac OS games I intend to play or replay, just behind an awful lot of others. > Now, the third one had problems. I liked 'Nova a lot – I liked that the world felt (ever so slightly) more alive, I liked the scope of the world, I liked the number and variety of the craft and outfits, I even liked various outfits requiring government approval to purchase and government craft opening fire on your craft if they detected that you were using unauthorised or illegal outfits... ...but I agree that the Vell-os plot line was an awful idea, and I wonder how many players abandoned 'Nova – and how many registrations Ambrosia lost – because of players thinking that the Vell-os plot line was all the game had to offer. The only time 'Nova "offered" the Vell-os plot line to me, I fled to Aurora space and didn't look back... > Also want to mention Realmz [...] I never liked Realmz – I think either I was too young to understand it or its gameplay was incompatible with my tastes – but I completed a lot of scenarios for Spiderweb's "Blades of Exile", and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the original "Exile" quadrilogy is now freeware. |
