Escape Velocity for Windows?

My grandpappy has an iMac computer at his house, with which I play constantly. I recently rediscovered the shareware version of Escape Velocity while over there, and I was curious if there was any way that I could play it with Windows 98. I checked the Internet, but most of the links were for Escape Velocity: Nova, which I am not interested in. Any ideas as to how I can play the original EV on Windows?

This page might be of use. When you search Google. you can add the minus sign to indicate that you don't want a term to appear; for example, I found that page by searching for "escape velocity" game -nova.

I looked at Google under "Escape Velocity for Windows, -nova, -overide", but I couldn't find anything. Obviously, you used your magic powers to manipulate the internet into getting you that page. That site seems to work fine, though a link for Basilisk II is broken. I should be able to find it with a simple Google search, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll be playing EV in no time!

Thanks, Magic Man!
