Legend is a multiplayer roleplaying game.
Unfortunately (at least for you non-swedish users) the language in-game is Swedish.
Legend is hidden in the bowels of a BBS system called RatHole.
This BBS system also runs an adapted version of Galaxy (see links below).
The Galaxy menus are still in english, so feel free to give it a shot.

History
The adventure game Legend was created in 1985 by SONY Playstation legend
Christer Ericson, on the old Apple //e. The code was inherited by me,
Grymse, and converted into an unholy collection of spaghetti. Somehow,
using several Apple II's connected to a central Corvus hard drive,
it was turned into a real multiplayer adventure game.
In 1990 it was time for the PC, and the old Basic program was ported
to Borland Turbo C. My serial I/O card had eight ports, so now Legend was able
to support eight users.
Some time in 1997 I ported it from DOS to Linux,
and was able to set it up on the internet. Now it's using sockets,
supporting an "unlimited" number of users.
And lastly, here are some wise words that I should have listened to some
one and a half decade ago:
*Designing* something right for once instead of
just implementing it is a better long term solution :-).
