Description of Frederik Pohl's Gateway

One of the best sci-fi games I've ever played, this game follows Pohl's classic: you play a "prospector" - one of the brave souls who volunteer to pilot alien crafts to unknown destinations, hoping to find valuable artifacts. As with other early Legend releases, the interface is excellent. I can't find fault with this game except that it seems a bit short. The plot is first-rate and puzzles challenging throughout. (the "Virtual Reality"-based puzzles are some of best puzzles ever designed for an adventure game, bar none).

And best of all, Legend released the game as freeware a few years ago to promote Gateway 2: Homeworld. Two thumbs up!

An excellent adventure game, I still remember several of the puzzles and the major plot points even years later, and as the description says, the virtual reality puzzles were at best hilarious. Music was for the most part good too, fitting the milieu of the locales.
