Now this is the coolest thing I've played with in a long time... erm, off the internet. (No offense to my recently acquired action figures).
It's a 3-D Space sim. That's all. Basically a very simple autocad but totally cool. No ships or anything, you just fly around and look at constellations from different angles, but really fun getting lost at the edge of the known Universe and trying to make your way back without using the "home" command.
It also can be configured to show real time, so all the planets will be where they actually are, and you can predict and watch solar and lunar eclipses from space. There's more but I don't wanna bore ya. Here's the link:

(prolly while drunk :) )
newkate is currently playing her fave game at the moment called Space Colony. I haven't played it but it's rather like a mixture between Sims and Sim City set on the moon. It's a total screem!

I must admit it's taking me a little time to get used to the controls. But the graphics are really smooth and detailed. I particularly like increasing and decreasing speed and watching the moons of Jupiter revolve around the planet while watching jupiter revolve around the sun. Awesome stuff! :)
