The story involves the Calypso's attempts to find out what happened to the Tantalus and its colonies which have gone missing, as well as other mysteries involving relics of previous non-human inhabitants of the system.
The Calypso, Tantalus, and similar ships were sent to colonize other star systems due to the threat of humanity's extinction on Earth as a result of an interstellar war. The UNS Tantalus was sent to the same star system after you, but because it makes use of a better engine, arrives in Beta Caeli before you do. The Calypso has been sent from Earth to colonize the system. You take the role as captain of the Calypso. The game takes place after the arrival of the UNS Calypso in the Beta Caeli star system. For example, at the beginning of the game, if the player fails to form a self-sufficient colony on Gaea, (a colony with at least one habitat, power plant and factory) the science advisor (also the mission's executive officer) will kill the player for incompetence and take over the command. Some tasks must be done before a set time limit or else the game will end prematurely. The game progresses in real-time but the game speed can be adjusted. Given sufficient player immersion, the game atmosphere may add to the experience of ensuring the survival of mankind.
Several advisors guide the player through the plot and a PDA reminds the player of important tasks as objectives, revealed as the scenario progresses. Players must colonize a star system light-years from Earth by building planetary cities and Space Stations. The game includes elements of city construction, research, resource management, industrial production and combat.
Alien Legacy is a sci-fi strategy game developed by Ybarra Productions and published by Sierra On-Line in 1994 for MS-DOS.
