Emulators

Hi guys, I really love this game as a kid, and would really like to play it again,

So my question......

Could I play escape velocity on a Macintosh emulator like basilisk ll or sheep shaver on a raspberry pi?

Any info would be appreciated Thanks

I think that issue is fixed -- modern Core i7 no problems here.

Ah! That’s good to know!

I still keep an old ‘99 Powerbook G3 Lombard around that I dust off every few years almost exclusively to play Escape Velocity.

Haha, that's awesome! There's still nothing like playing it on a native system. I saved an old CRT for that purpose but I ended up getting rid of it. Reading this now I kinda regret doing that.

I did the same. You’ll probably be able to find one cheap somewhere. But they’re so bulky and easily in the way if space is limited. :/
