Following the success of [Escape Velocity][1], Ambrosia Software
released another title in the EV series in 1998. Escape Velocity
Override, or simply EV Override, is a sequel in name only. The setting
is completely different than the original EV, with a larger galaxy
that contains many more species and over half a dozen storylines.

Ambrosia's description gives much more detail:

> EV Override is Ambrosia's huge follow-up to the classic Escape
> Velocity. Much like the original game, you are cast as a pioneering
> space captain with only a small shuttlecraft, a bit of money, and a
> strong sense of destiny. But the similarity ends there.
>
> Override features a universe five times the size of the original
> game, and a slew of populated worlds within. Gone are the
> neverending wars which raged in the original game; instead, winning
> critical battles can change the face of the universe. Or, if you're
> happy with the existing balance of power, you can make a living as a
> humble trader. Just watch out for those pesky renegades, who want
> nothing more than to swipe the precious cargo from your holds.
>
> Override also takes advantage of an improved Escape Velocity engine
> for improved game play, and enhanced flexibility for scenario
> developers. Additionally, the game contains stunning new graphics
> and sound, over 250 new missions, a multitude of human and alien
> governments, and all the excitement of the original EV game.

The first attachment is the original EV Override installer, containing
version 1.0.0.
The second attachment is EV Override 1.0.1 installer.
The third is the latest installer for version 1.0.2. The most
significant gameplay change across these versions is the improved AI
in v1.0.2 which makes enemies, particularly carriers, more
challenging. Fighters have the capability to "swarm" rather than the
original EV mechanic of making passes.
The fourth attachment is a map for the game.
The fifth attachment is a Mac OS X version of the game using the EV
Nova engine.
The sixth attachment is a cheater set.
The seventh attachment is Matt Burch's EV Override bible.
