Oolite incorporates trade, battles with pirates, bounty hunting, secret missions and more. Oolite was written specifically for Mac OS X using Cocoa and opimised for OpenGL.

Oolite features high-quality sound and smooth and fast three dimensional graphics.

And it's free. Oolite was written by Giles Williams, who was inspired by the work of David Braben and Ian Bell with Elite, however this work is an entirely independent interpretation and expansion of the original game.

Oolite has benefited immensely from the responses of the many people who volunteer their time and skills to test the game and to suggest and make improvements to this open-source project.
