A Star Trader 02 May. 2013
Top comment

Update to my previous comment. This is an excellent game, but doesn't have an AI/computer player. I was confusing this game with even more excellent Starlanes for Linux, which adds a number of enjoyable features to the Star Trader gameplay: AI, color text, black holes, and better management. http://www.barnsdle.demon.co.uk/game/starlanes.html

Also of interest is Trade (includes sourcecode), also freely downloadable here: http://xent.com/~bsittler/geocities/#trade

A Star Trader 13 Aug. 2012

Wow, the countless hours I've spent playing this game... Deceptively smple, yet engrossingly complex. Flashy graphics would detract from the solid gameplay. Randomly generated starfields and a challenging AI make this a game I keep playing, again and again.
