This game was reviewed in the first PC magazine I bought back in 1993 - got only 6/10 though (PC Review) although I think it's worth more than that. It's a game where patience is rewarding although there's several areas where you can get stuck because you forgot to do something earlier in the game (which is incidentally why it received a low mark). That's why I always keep a lot of saves and the solution handy, so I can check to see if I made any big slip ups.

Great to see it up, but I would've thought you'd put up the first one first. And íf I remember correctly I uploaded this one as well as reviewed it.
Great game, though, I recommend it for everybody. |

What's the secret to saving your game? I've got the save path in the legend.ini set to the same folder as the game (C:\GAMES\Gateway2), and every time I save my game, it goes through all the motions, but selecting the restore function prompts the game to inform me that there ARE no saved games. This game looks totally radtacular, but I'll be very hard pressed to beat the whole thing in one go, aye?

Maybe you need to add \Save or something to that line, or create the folder yourself (similar problem arises with Crusader saves and is solved by creating the Save directory manually)? I'm just guessing here, not played it. You using DOSBox?

Edit: Meaning that if you have mounted the c:\games folder as your c drive, the save path should just be c:\gateway2. |

Aha, I've got it working; I found out that it kept saving in C:\Games, as opposed to the directory specified in the .ini, and after further experimentation, found that setting ALL of the paths to C:\Games fixed this weird problem. Thanks, peoples of undetermined genders!

Hope you don't mind me adding onto this thread with another problem. I've downloaded it. Set it to run under DosBox. I have played around with the Legend.CFG file and tried to set all the paths to the correct directory, but when I load up the game, it is a black screen. I still get sound. If I hit escape a couple of times, it will take me to the play screen in full text mode. When I click to the half screen -- the picture box stays blank. Also when the next cut scene comes in, the screen turns black. It's like it can't find any of the pictures/video.
Any thoughts as to why it's not pulling in the pictures/video? Thanks! |

Hmm, what directory did you put the game in, in DOSbox? Remeber that dos isn't fond of directorie names (and file names) with more than eight letters. If the name of the directory is more than eight letters it will probably look something like this in dosbox: gatewa~1, which could be a problem if the path in the ini file is "c:\gateway 2 - homeworld".
