- The year is 2102. The earth is dying, as overpopulation, pollution and
- exhausted natural resources threaten to choke off life on the planet. As
- world leaders despair, the discovery of a huge alien space station brings
- new hope. The space station was abandoned 500,000 years ago by an alien

- system. Battle unimaginable predators refined by a million years of
- radiation-induced mutation on a tropical planet bound by a seething
- jungle. Tame a horrible beast with the help of a tiny water-borne race of
- dream-invading bacteria on the beautiful planet Dorma. Discover a missing
- Gateway prospector living as a recluse on a primitive desert planet, and
- enlist his unwilling help in re-assembling a critical Heechee device.
- Gateway will provide many more exciting adventures that will challenge and
- intrigue players for many hours.
