In 1993, Gateway 2: Homeworld was released by Legend Entertainment Company with a very interesting Interactive Fiction / Text Adventure. This you can now play online.
The space station crew are awakened from cryogenic sleep involved anxiety; after a time the sensors indicate that something priblijaetsa Solar system at a speed greater than the speed of light, seconds later an object occurs right at the orbit of Pluto. "Artifact" has a huge size: more than 6 kilometers in length and mass of 3 million tons. He ignores all attempts to get in contact with him and kept going only currently known purpose, like he's waiting for something...
When the news reaches the Earth, the entire planet begins with shudder wait, because nobody knows what or who controls this ship and what are his intentions. It can be Chiechi, an ancient powerful race that left the Earth 500,000 years ago, or it could be their sworn enemies of the assassins are ruthlessly destroy entire civilizations. But the hero don't much care: getting reward of 50 million dollars for his work on корпорациюGateway, he lives a quiet and comfortable life in the skyscraper, while the UN conducted heated debates about what to do next.
Gateway 2, like most games from the Legend, is a yet unplayed by anyone quest the mixture of text and graphics. How does it look? Cm. screenshots. The interface of the game is the rat, although no one forbids you not to drive his own words. In G2:H, you'll be surprised of the unusual mindset of the developers, because the puzzles are really logical (well, of course, not without exceptions), and the storyline is very clear, without any failures and uncertainties.
As in the old quests from Sierra, there is a points system, where for each executed action, leading to a promotion on the game, you earn a certain number of points. Pixel hunting is present, but is very conditional: all traced to the "5" and when you click on the object is information about it immediately appears in the text box. Special attention zalivat the music... it was just wonderful, and a lot of it, in each location plays its own melody.
You can go on to describe the advantages of the game (Yes, the advantages and disadvantages of her almost there), but it is better to see it with my own eyes and see what's what.
