Gateway 2 - The Homeworld

                               by Legend 
                                          
                	solution by Veikko Danilas

  Although Gateway 2 can't quite reach high standards as set by it's 
predecessor "Frederik Pohl's Gateway", it is still enjoyable experience. 
It's a shame that Legend won't develop text - reduced graphics adventures 
any more. Graphical adventures tend to lack depth and interface gives too 
many puzzles away. Anyway, here is my vision of the Gateway 2. I hope that 
somebody finds it useful. And don't just follow my directions, try to do 
all kinds of things. Sometimes game responses are very enjoyable.
