Legacy is an unreleased Sega Mega LD full-motion video adventure game developed by Illumina Productions[1][2] and slated to be published by Pioneer. Co-produced by acclaimed film director Robert Redford[1][2], the game progressed as far in development to receive an official Japanese publishing code (PEASJ1035), but ultimately never materialized.

Gameplay

Native Americans would demonstrate different skills for surviving in the wild; these adventure segments would be broken up by action segments, such as white water kayaking and rock climbing, and puzzle segments involving spirit animals and geothermal geysers.[1]

History

Briefly described in the January 7, 1995 issue of Billboard magazine as an "outdoor adventure game"[2], Legacy would have been the first Pioneer LaserActive game produced by an American developer.

Sundance Institute

Oakland, California-based Illumina Productions had worked with director [wikipedia:Robert Redford|Robert Redford]] before. Redford was directly involved in the production of Imagynasium[4], and was likely involved with BackStage[5]; both of these games were in some part funded and supported by Redford's Sundance Institute.

Founded to assist and promote independent filmmakers, theatre artists, and composers, the nonprofit organization created an initiative to support Native and Indigenous artists in 1994.[6] This initiative to showcase Native culture is assumed to be the inception for Legacy, with Sundance Institute again providing funding and support for Illumina Productions.

Development

Footage for the game was shot in Yellowstone National Park, and included scenes of the park's native gray wolves.[1]
