A man after my own heart.  :)

Well....... short answer: Not really, but there are some pretty good attempts at it. A game by Origin called Space Rogue is definitely worth a look. I've recently reviewed it on the Amiga Games Database, and there is quite a detailed thread about the game on the comp.sys.amiga.games newsgroup.

Not trading, but space combat; Star Crusader is a great game, with an excellent patch by John Girvin, it features a great storyline and some excellent dogfighting - not to mention Stealth missions!

Star Glider 2 was pretty popular, although it never really clicked with me.

Damocles maybe?

Again, mission based and combat oriented is the fantastic Warhead. I'm re-writing a review of this at the moment and hopefully there'll be a thread in comp.sy.amiga.games shortly.

Hope that's some help.

Well Space Rogue is a legal download as you'll see in the c.s.a.games thread. It also has a new WHDLoad installer written by the very talented Jean-François Fabre, bless his cotton socks.  :)

I think Warhead maybe legal somewhere, I think I read Glyn Williams had given permission to some site - but don't quote me.

Did I mention how brilliant Warhead is?  :)
