Background: For those who don't know, Escape Velocity was a neat game on the Macintosh where you flew around in a little spaceship, did missions or traded stuff, which earned you money to get better ships and outfits, and so on (very simplified description).
Well, the sequel (well, the third game in the series really) is called Escape Velocity Nova and it came out about a year ago. Now, they finally ported it to the PC.
It's shareware, but you play almost the entire game anyway, and if you get hooked you might even purchase the full version (I know I did). There are some ships, outfits (upgrades) and missions that you can't get unregistered and it expires after 30 days but that's more than enough to try it out.
Also, it's only a 72 MB download. Give it a shot, you might like it.
