Final Legacy ?-??-83

 

This is the earliest known version of Final Legacy known to exist. While very playable, it’s missing some major features.

 

Differences

There is no title screen, the game jumps straight to the difficulty selection screen
The starting screen doesn’t allow for the selection of left/right handed joystick
The starting screen doesn’t show the players score at the bottom
There is no fuel in the game
When on the Navigation screen the text under the map simply says Navigation instead of displaying the amount of fuel you have left.
There is a square around the targeting cursor on the Sea to Air sequence
The word SCORE is missing from the ending screen (although your score is still shown)
There is no option to continue the game after winning. You are taken back to the starting screen with your score tallied up.
There is no game over screen
The music on the title screen is slightly different
The colors are slightly different
The text on the Torpedo screen is yellow instead of white
Your cities can only take two hits before being destroyed
You can push OPTION at any time to get back to the difficulty selection screen and change the difficulty while in mid-game. Pressing OPTION again will go back to the game.
The game will immediately end after destroying all the cities even if there are still missiles in the air. In the final version you must finish shooting down all the missiles before the game will end.
There is an odd bug in this version where if you exit the Sea to Land screen before the explosion finishes when destroying the final city the game won’t properly end. The player will be stuck until they either destroy their ship or their last city is destroyed.
