Solar Winds
Solar Winds: The Escape and it's sequel Solar Winds: Galaxy also known as Solar Winds II: Universe are top-down, space-based 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.

Famous quotes containing the words solar and/or winds:
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The cold wet winds ever blowing,
And the shadowy hazel grove
Where mouse-grey waters are flowing,
Threaten the head that I love.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
