Yes, but that will severly limit you. Try Final Battle 4.1, only one I can think of.

If you have EVO, get Reign of the UE and Reign of the Voinians I and II.

You can find it on the Escape Velocity add-ons page. When I looked at the page last night it was listed as the newest plug-in that you can download. Hope this helps.

Alex, that's the type of computer you have, if you haven't noticed. Its almost exactly the same as my older Mac, except mine is 5200CD, one of those computer-monitor combos . .

And you should be able to find a couple good plugins on the addons page, and just make sure they don't exceed 1.4MB in size. So this will mean you miss out on most of the good universe conversions, but at least you can still get a few others.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Final Battle won't fit on a floppy disk. Version 4.0, at least, is 4.2 MB.

However: escape_alex could use Aladdin's StuffIt to segment a big plug like that into smaller pieces. Final Battle 4.0 then becomes four separate files at 1.3 MB apiece. Once the files have been transferred to the Mac, he can rejoin the fragments.

I have this problem too! My faves are Talon by David Arthur and Hostile Takeover. Here's how if find them i search "escape velocity plug-ins" on msn scroll down to "escape velocity plug-ins: S-T" this site has lots of good plugs. I'd put a link in the post only i haven't got the slightest clue how mabey this will work (url="http://"http://www-pp.hogia.net/a.svensson/EV/plugins-st.html")http://www-pp.hogia....plugins-st.html(/url)
