I have played Solar Winds through long time ago, it was definetely entertaining. But should you like the overall concept, this game takes it ^10 http://sc2.sf.net - The alpha version is otherwise full working except for missing intro and ending movie - which are not really necessary for full enjoyment. Should you find the original somewhere, it could be candidate for VirtualPC, but this version has been ported to work on most platforms.

Awesome! This game rocks. I remember having a lot of fun when I had a memory hex editor. I hacked it so that I had a ton of fuel, etc. I don't really remember much about it.

Now I have to figure out how to do that again.

Try using dosbox (dosbox.sf.net) which is a DOS emulator for various platforms.
I played both SolarWinds 1 and 2 on it (on
a Mac no less) and I got full music and sound
working.

Only downside to using DosBox with Solar Winds is that DosBox doesn't support Saved States YET whereas VPC does....which is very beneficial in this game.
