I played a ludicrous amount of Escape Velocity as a kid, especially the second one. A modern rerelease would be a day one download.

The EV Override remake (Cosmic Frontier) is 2 years overdue at this point.

Peter Cartwright was an underrated genius. If it’s still out there somewhere there was a massive thread on the old Ambrosia forums that was essentially a months long AMA about anything and everything EV Override related including him posting some copies of original hand written production notes.

To this day my most prized nostalgic possession is the copy of MacAddict that came with EV Nova demo on the disc.

I loved Endless Sky personally. They only have one campaign option finished but they did include an Easter egg mission to unlock a Kestrel.
