Escape Velocity (props to anyone who remembers that little goldmine, double props if you made plugins :), Shufflepuck Cafe, Chessmaster, Pathways Into Darkness, Spectre, Stellar 7...
That's also right when we upgraded from a Mac Classic II to a Power Mac 7100/66 and OS 8 was a virtual Deus Ex Machina, for historical perspective.
Best game ever. I played that game nonstop and almost had complete control over all of the planets. I LOVED that game... They have some new XP port that I must try :DQuote:

It's definitely worth a look... www.ambrosiasw.com :)
Yes. Nova... I was jsut checking it out on their site! For the original EV I had some plugin that let me have a weapon that was unlimited ammo and did a crazy amount of damage. So I'd go to a planet, demand tribute, they'd deny me and send out there army, and then I'd destroy them with my awesome weapon. That's how I controlled the planets :D
Fun times!
lol... was it the Forklift? Made a truck sound... huge explosion radius (basically a space bomb with guidance and infinite ammo)
There were a ton of those plugs but the Forklift one was actually funny... I think I remember reading it was a reference to some MSK3K thing.
The amazing thing is the EV webboard is still going... they even still had my plug hosted until last year (that I made in like 7th grade lol)
Way hyped about this game. Warcraft and Starcraft (all versions) completey kicked ***. We still play WC3 at the office afterhours sometimes. I can remember countless nights on Bnet playing SC.:)
Heh... SC is pretty timeless... but I have to say since I found DoW I've never even looked back at War3 :)
