Hey, hoping somebody can help me out here. I'm looking for an old space
game that was made on the 68k Macs. I don't remember too much, but from
what I can remember, it is a 2-d game in which you fly your ship
through outer space. The screen moves as you move your ship around. You
can go into different shops, and the ship was very upgradeable,
increasing the replay factor.
If anyone has any ideas, please post them. Also if you have any ideas
where else I can post this question where I may be able to find an
answer, that would be great. Thanks. |

No, definitely not EV Nove, but very very similar. |

Thank you all for the attempts. I actually stumbled across this game
today in a forum. The game is "Centaurian" created by the same person
who made snood
Here is a screenshot:

Has anybody ever played it? |

I remember playing that game, but seem to vaguely remember playing it as
an arcade game. Don't remember it on the Mac, but I have an old file
burned to a CD that's labeled Centaurian 1.2.1 so I could be wrong...
