Description by Brucelet.com(from Google Play)
Space Trader is a port of the Palm OS game of the same name, created by Pieter Spronck. A classic among Palm gamers of the era, it was named Freeware Game of the Year by Handheld Computing in 2000.
This Android port faithfully reproduces the original game. Your goal is to earn enough money, whether by honest trading or other, seedier means, to retire to your own moon. Buy goods on one planet to sell to another, but watch out for space pirates! If you're tough enough, hunt down pirates to earn rewards. If that seems too above-board, try smuggling illegal items for spectacular profits. Or, if you'd rather, become a pirate yourself and rob other traders of their goods. Be careful, though. The police take notice of illegal activity...
Just like the original, Space Trader for Android includes: • Four different skills with which to customize your character. • Ten different trade goods, two of which are illegal but very profitable. • Ten different ship types, some well-suited for particular play-styles. • More than ten different ship upgrades, some of which are common, and others only available as rewards for particularly noteworthy deeds. • Over 100 unique worlds randomly generated for each new game. • Over a dozen missions and special encounters, if you can find them.
This Android port also has new features: • New high resolution reproductions of the original in-game graphics! • Five different themes! Choose between light or dark versions of Android's Holo and Material styles, or truly bring back the past with classic Palm colors. • Optionally randomize quest systems. No longer return to the same places over and over again every game! • Line-by-line examination of the original game code led to over 15 bugfixes included in the port. • Optional UI updates including extra shortcuts, zoom gestures, and animations.

Thanks for making this! I was looking for a game like the old Space Trader on Palm Pilot, and here it is!
★★★★★
I used to borrow my dad's work Palm Pilot all the time to play this game and run his battery down to zero. Especially on road trips, I'd wake up early before the rest of the family and play this in the hotel bathroom (because you needed good lighting for those old Palms) and by the time he woke up he'd need to charge it! Great port.
★★☆☆☆
This is a wonderful game when it is played with all the features. This version however is missing the lasers and add-ons that allow you to customize your ship, has terrible graphics (and the bar is super low), doesn't use the special events feature much (taking passengers or killing alien bosses), and doesn't allow you to have a global view of the map, just the local. As a result the game is boring and flat. There is an implementation on iOs that is much more fun to play with.
