Trivia

The storyline of "The Legacy" (and particularly the grim Victorian house where the game takes place) was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's tales.

The game was severely criticized for its (mainly "arcadish") difficulty - and sold not too well because of that. The difficulty was indeed the main reason why some players abandoned it and lost the superb, detailed, atmospheric plot, rivaled so far only by "Realms of the Haunting". A trainer and save editor were released some time after the game's launch (by a cracker group, NB), and made some return to the game.
