***Sea Legends*** (Russian: Морские легенды) is an [MS-DOS](/source/MS-DOS) based game developed by the Russian company Mir Dialogue (later [Nival](/source/Nival_(company))), published by New Media Generation (in Russia)[1] and [Ocean of America](/source/Ocean_Software) (North America) and distributed by [GTE Entertainment](/source/GTE_Interactive_Media).[2] First big project by the veteran of the Russian gaming industry [Sergey Orlovskiy](/source/Sergey_Orlovskiy),[3] it was among the pioneers of the [voxel](/source/Voxel) technology in video games, combining 3D environment with 2D sprites, which allowed for an [open world](/source/Open_world) sea basin and real-time naval battles.

*Sea Legends* was inspired by *[Sid Meier's Pirates](/source/Sid_Meier's_Pirates)*, although it follows an original plot which also takes place in the [Caribbean](/source/Caribbean) in the 17th century. The game features rather complex models of ship management and trading system.

In *Sea Legends* the player takes the role of Captain Richard Grey, a [British](/source/United_Kingdom) [sailor](/source/Sailor) of noble heritage who has to use his knowledge to accomplish a series of different sea-based missions aboard his [Frigate](/source/Frigate), the Hefestus. However, it is possible for the player to deviate from linear gameplay and become a pirate. As a pirate the player can freely explore the Caribbean Sea looting ships, attacking town ports and hunting for treasure.
