Hi everybody.

I used to be a Mac guy but have long since converted to the dark side.
On the Mac there was a great shareware game called Escape Velocity and
it's sequel EV-Override. Very simple stuff -- start small, explore the
galaxy, trade and deal to improve your ship, watch out for pirates and
aliens that don't like you. Hours of wasted time.  :)

Is there anything like that for the PC? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
