Took me about 4 hours to get it working
Running on Basilisk II 68k Mac emulator using System 8.1 and Quicktime 5 with the Quadra 900 BIOS!
It may be slightly more difficult to find a cheap one, but an oldish mac (they made it OSX only now so it needs to be OSX 10.5 or newer) would be just as good for the EV games as they were actually made native for Mac. You can still buy and download the full game from Ambrosia here:

It's $30.
There is a good mods section on the website to have a look through too. The main one I recommend is the ship variants mod so you can choose from the different variants of a particular ship that you are buying. There are many more worthwhile ones too. There are also mods which allow you to play original EV and EV Override within EV Nova which are pretty much flawless. Some people might like to buy those games too but the way I see it $30 for Nova is already a little pricey, and Ambrosia clearly don't have a problem with you using the mods or they wouldn't host them on their website.
Good luck PC hunting, try craigslist and stuff like that.
This might be a bit late, but I'll post it anyway.
You can use another program called QT Lite. It provides the same functionality as Quicktime, but does not include a movie player. Works fine with EV Nova.
@dragonfangxl, also (sorry I'm blowing you up), I get the feeling it's a resolution or driver issue of some sort, but that's about as far as I've gotten independently lol. I found this "WinNova Resolution Patcher"... let me know if you think it's relevant. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/addons?sort=submitted_on&order=desc&category=Utilities
The Name does not exist in mobile because the company that published it missed the Mobile boat almost totally, the author of the engine has moved on with his life, CFO is targeting desktop, and the Nova rights are a mess.
That said, this very good clone on mobile called Space RPG 3 does exist:

Nope, you're definitely not alone. If you need to scratch the space travel itch and you're on moble there's SpaceRPG3.
