A pair of Science Fiction Interactive Fiction games: Frederik Pohl's Gateway (1992) Gateway II: Homeworld (1993)Both games are loosely based on Frederik Pohl's Heechee Saga. The first game begins by the protagonist entering the titular Gateway, a hollow space station created by the now disappeared Heechee, in search of riches. Eventually, a more complex plot develops as it turns out that the Heechee left for a reason. Cue adventures, dangerous situations and of course, clever puzzles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The games were written by Glen Dahlgren and Mike Verdu and published by Legend Entertainment, and both feature a powerful parser and a graphical interface similar to the popular Spellcasting games. Unlike Spellcasting, Gateway games feature little comedy and are mostly serious stories.Gateway II is notable as the last commercially-released adventure game using a text parser interface.Not to be confused with the Point-And-Click Flash games made by Cockroach Incorporated. | |

Button Mashing | |
| Gateway (Video Game) / int_82933b02 | comment |
Button Mashing: The humans have very little knowledge on Heechee ships, so this is (in-universe) the way they're operated. In-game, the player has a set of safe coordinates and following them is enough. If you want, you can ignore the given coordinates and engage in button-mashing yourself, which has about 80% chance of sending you to your death. | |

Blank Book: "Everything We Know About the Heechee", much like in the original novel. Unlike the novel, in the game such books actually serve as logs of prospectors studying Heechee artefacts. | |
