They made a moderately successful first-person shooter ''VideoGame/TheWheelOfTime'', and then worked on ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}}'' expansion packs. In 2004 the studio was closed by its then-owner, Atari, the reason being that "Legend had recently completed its only current project and had no new projects in the pipeline".

'''Legend Entertainment''' was a company founded by former members of Creator/{{Infocom}}, focusing on {{text adventure}}s with static pictures to the side. Creator/SteveMeretzky was their most prominent writer. Many of their games were adaptations of popular SF&F books, usually faithful to the spirit, even if rather loose. Early games (''Spellcasting'', ''Timequest'', ''Gateway'' and ''Eric the Unready'') had a powerful parser, that also allowed to choose nouns and verbs from a large dictionary; subsequent adventures dropped the parser leaving only [[PointAndClickGame pointing-and-clicking]] (and greatly reduced the number of available actions), but featured much better graphics.
