Look at http://www.macgamefiles.com

They have everything about games for download.
There is a extra section for demos, and there also for sims.

You might take a look at Decent 3, which does look pretty good, and you should also check out the game Terminus, which is a game like the old Epic (perhaps you happen to know that?)

The direct link for sim-demos-section at Macgamefiles:

Have fun!

Talking

Thanks! I just ordered Terminus

The name of the game is Elite, and I spent most of my 14th & 15th years playing it... never did get to Elite status though. I was at Deadly for a long time, then the return key on my C-128 broke, which made it somewhat difficult to load the game.

I did finish all the Navy missions though.

Now if only someone would do a version of The Sentry...

Right on Commander!

Cool x-plane?

I would try X-Plane, it's probably the best flight sim you'll ever see. It's got great opengl support. Check it out at http://www.x-plane.com

they had a demo the last time I checked...
