Solar Winds DOS

Solar Winds: The Escape and its sequel Solar Winds: Galaxy also known as Solar Winds II: Universe are top-down, space-themed action games developed by James Schmalz and published by Epic MegaGames in 1993.

The main character of both games, bounty hunter Jake Stone, takes on a series of missions that has him fighting robots, aliens, and rebels in ship-to-ship combat. The story is told through simple conversations and brief cutscenes. In some ways, the series is reminiscent of the much larger and more complex Star Control II, without the ship customization and fleet building aspects.
