In this work, we investigate the possibility of occurrence of a critical behavior related to a liquid-gas phase transition in a finite classical system. The equation of state of such a classical system resembles that of nuclear matter. Through a study of mass distributions, scaled factorial moments, anomalous fractal dimensions, and moments of cluster mass distributions, we find evidence for the presence of a critical behavior of our finite system. Such a critical behavior is connected, by the use of Fisher's droplet model and Campi analysis, to a liquid-gas phase transition.
