Solar Winds: The Escape and its sequel Solar Winds: Galaxy (also known as Solar Winds II: Universe) are top-down, space-themed role-playing 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 shipping cargo and fending off attackers. The story is told through simple conversations and brief cutscenes. In some ways, the series is reminiscent of Star Control II, without the ship customization and fleet building aspects.
