The games were written by Glen Dahlgren and Mike Verdu and published by Legend Entertainment, and both feature a poweful parser and a graphical interface similar to the popular ''[[VideoGame/TheSpellcastingSeries Spellcasting]]'' games. Unlike ''Spellcasting'', Gateway games feature little comedy and are mostly serious stories.

* EvilIsEasy: On one of the planets in the first game you meet Becker, another explorer who became stranded there years ago. Several of the puzzles on the planet have two solutions, where one will make Becker think more kindly of you and the other will anger him. The former solutions are ''always'' more complicated than the latter. If at the end of the mission Becker thinks positively enough of you, he will decide to return and you get an additional reward for saving him.

* LighterAndSofter: Understandably the games focus much more on the exciting exploration of alien worlds rather than the oppressive dread of surrendering your life to utterly alien machines where the biggest threats are having too little food for a trip of unknown duration or someone having a mental breakdown due to having to share a cramped space with other people for days and days on end.

First thing that came to my mind when I heard about a game called "Gateway" with a sequel called "Gateway II."

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.

* EnemyChatter: The second game has a rare non-combat game example. You get a radio just after the spaceport you are at is attacked by crazy religious terrorists, and two of the channels allow you to listen to the terrorists radio chatter as well as that of the security forces trying to retake the spaceport. This is useful for keeping tabs on what the terrorists are doing, and the dialogue reacts to things you do. Trying to talk into the radio will result in them realizing they're being listened in on and the transmissions from that source will no longer be available to you.
