Sea Legends
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sea legends is a DOS based game created by Ocean and published by GTE Entertainment. It was released on May 31st, 1996. The game combines 3D environments with 2D sprites.
The game was inspired by Sid Meier's Pirates and therefore the game's plot revolves around piracy in the Caribbean in the 17th century. Though it received little aclaim at the time of its release, the game is now recognised by some as a quality game.
In Sea Legends, the player takes the role of Captain Richard Grey, a British sailor who has to use his knowledge to accomplish a series of different sea-based missions aboard his Frigate, the Hefestus. However, it is possible for the player to deviate from linear gameplay and become a pirate. As a pirate the player can freely explore the Caribbean Sea looting ships and towns. Unfortunately if the player does deviate from linear gameplay, a glitch eventually causes the game to effectively stop functioning correctly after a while. The game has a considerable lifetime, perhaps 60+ hours. Because the game is DOS based, it is difficult to run on Windows XP.
