Play Solar Winds: Galaxy Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Solar Winds: Galaxy is a classic space adventure game set in a vast, treacherous galaxy where survival hinges on strategy and alliances. After escaping a government-engineered death trap through a mysterious portal, you find yourself stranded in an unfamiliar star system, awaiting a contact who can help you return home. A year later, the journey begins as you take on missions to upgrade your ship, navigating a web of allies and enemies whose trustworthiness is never certain.
