"In the distant future, when humans had colonized the galaxies, technology prevailed. Pioneers roamed
the galaxy in search of riches and treasures. After an uneventful century of typical interstellar corporate
greed and economic oppression, the dreaded Voinians came. Mankind was not prepared.
Now, the brutal Voinian war wages on, with no end in sight. The hated foes are bent on destroying
humankind with their exceptionally powerful space fleet. Because of the war effort, much of space is still
unexplored. Are there other aliens to meet, trade with and learn from? Can the galaxy ever attain true peace"
A role-playing arcade hybrid like its predecessor, Override was created for the Mac. Even though it has been discontinued, there is a ported version that is available for EV: Nova. The game runs best under Mac OS 9, but if you have OSX it may run very slow in Classic Environment. PC users can play the game as well, by either playing the ported version, or by downloading a Mac emulator.
Plug-Ins for Override
| Fall of the Voinian Empire |
|
Thanks to CadeSmart, Wondergirl, Kauthor, and Evil Spoonman and others for making this possible. Fall of the Voinian Empire expands one of Override's Central Objectives. Long after freeing the Hinwar from slavery, the Voinian Empire is reduced to a total state of anarchy and this delays the UE government and their new-found allies from ending the war. It's up to the player to help turn a decisive victory and restore peace before it's too late.

Basically a cheating plug-in. It just makes high tech outfit items and weapons available for purchase at corresponding places in the galaxy without having to play any of the major threads in the game. It also includes such rare weaponry that you never even knew existed.

| Emalgha Heavy Ships |

The Emalgha navy has poor degraded ships and are considered to be laughing stock compared to the rest of the galaxy. This plug-in adds one ship as a flagship. This is one of the many ships that I used as sort of a teaser for the Fall of the Voinian Empire project.

Though I don't really condone for people to play an unregistered version of Override, this plug-in can actually destroy Captain Hector if you wanted to. Kamikaze Drone is an outfit to arm yourself with a bay of explosive suicidal fighters at your disposal. Also included is Exploding Bunnies, I'll let you find out for yourself.
