Basinator: Freelancer !
I know there is an official wishlist, but I also want to introduce this game here, also because many people don't know it.
There aren't that many space-simulations out there, so I think if you are a fan of the genre you should at least download the demo/trial version.
You like Space-simulations like Freespace, Elite, Darkstar One, SpaceForce? Then you will love Freelancer! Explore the open and giant universe, pirate other players, police and traders, follow the storyline, fight against NPCs and in massive PvP-Fights in Multiplayer, trade goods for your wealthiness and experience the dynamic reputation system with over 30 Factions !
Greed, morality, compassion, anger... whatever motivates you, the dynamic universe will respond. Take the first step. The universe is waiting.
In Freelancer you decide by your own. Do you want to be the hero of the police? Or do you want to chill out and relax while you are trading? Or do you want the bad boy who attacks the navy, police & trader organisations? It is your choice !!

It is a great game and I believe many will agree with me here, it should be aviable at gog.com :)
Original Freelancer works really well in 32bit Vista. I didn't even have to use any compatibility settings other than letting it have Admin rights. I have to say that game is one of the least buggy games I have had the pleasure of playing.
