I had my regularly-scheduled itch to play Escape Velocity or one of its successors and/or clones the other week, and decided to play the real thing this time since I did a lap on Endless Sky not too long ago, and NAEV still doesn't quite grab me.
Free codes for doubledown casino on facebook. I'm now most of the way through a game of EV (under emulation in Basilisk II), and …impulse bought a cheap 2004 15″ Aluminum PowerBook G4 (a 5,4) off the internet after a crash ate a save file. I have good coverage of Apple 1984-1994 in my collection (in the form of bulky desktops with CRTs), and x86 OS X is pretty easy to run in a VM, but I have a hole in the late PPC era. That machine will hopefully eventually also get its own post as I finish fixing it up, it's not in perfect condition but it auctioned below prevailing when I was looking, and seems to be acceptable.
While I was looking into the player communities (…because it's become very hard to set up a working install of EV Nova recently, and I can't find a backup of my registered copy) I discovered that a couple months ago some wonderful person (slurked on thingiverse/quarmus on reddit) made and shared 3D models of the Kestrel and Lightning ships from the original EV.
…So the little Mac-user child of the 90s in me promptly headed down to the basement to print a Kestrel and a pair of Lightnings.
I gave them a quick sand to take the worst print artifacts off and sprayed them down with a couple coats of gray Krylon Fusion, which gave a decent base coat. I needed to do a little (bad) detail painting on the Lightnings, and the acrylics I have around didn't stick well to the spraypaint, so I dug out my decades-old Testor model enamel set. Eventually they were shaken and stirred enough to get the job done; in another post post, an absurd over-engineered shaker that didn't really solve the problem.

- The Mac and Linux versions are untested because I don't own any of these! If you are on a Mac or Linux and everything is pink, try to download the 'light' version, which is exactly the same - except a little brighter and fewer shadows. How often will you update the game? This is a free game made by a single person so I will update when I have time!

EV is still one of my favorite games, though I think Endless Sky's implementation of the formula is actually significantly better for a modern player without the memories, especially now that Ambrosia is defunct and the hacks around registering Nova seem to not be working.
About
GB_OS is a Gameboy program that tries to simulate or recreate some of the main functions of an operating system. It was designed with the 90's software aesthetic in mind.
Because GB cartridges are read-only memory and GB_OS doesn't make use of battery saving, it isn't possible to make any permanent changes to the system, so it's similar to booting an OS directly from a CD drive.
It is one of my weirdest projects so far, but I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially considering how limited the Gameboy is.

I love this. Would it be okay if I worked on a GBA version? I'm trying to remake the GBALua library for the GBA Jam and doing something like this would be a neat demo project! Note that I'm not at all sure I can pull it off, but I'd like your permission to try… :D
C.u.b.e slide mac os. Yes, feel free to work on a GBA version, I would love to see it.
It's like an uchronia where windows 98 never came .
Actually, win98 was my main source of inspiration for making GB_OS. I haven't used win95 until a couple months after this came out. Ninja jump (itch) (ayevk) mac os.
Thanks for the comment, btw.
this is so fun and cool! You did an awesome job figuring out how to use gb studio's features to make a convincing operating system. And the calculator is really impressive
Now I want one that looks more like Mac OS instead of Windows 95 ^_^
Thanks, I appreciate your comment. well, It took some time to figure out the calculator, but after I did, the rest was easy.
I've never used a MAC computer, so maybe in the future. I've thinking about making one of Windows 2 though.
Windows 2 would be cool. I still want the Mac version though :]
Reminded me of some mockups i saw on deviantart. Amazing *o*
What you could do for saving files is we can make an online database where the only function is to load up changes people have done, maybe even add a from scratch coding language from the ground up. :)
This is actually absolutely AMAZING! I really love OS recreations, specially the Windows 95/98 ones.

Seriously, although very simple, the execution is really good, and is an incredible example of how much you can do with the new GB Studio gameplay styles.

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it. ^^
