RobertQuinlanThanks to Loxotron at the Gaminator forums, we now have access to a number of builds previously unseen or known only from fragmented media, including content from the earliest stages of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. project. This video covers the most primitive materials.
Build 749 (April 19th, 2001) contains a single map, sharing the Aztec theme of the well known build 1098. It makes heavy use of borrowed content, particularly the railgun from id Software's Quake III.
Build 756 (June 26th, 2001) contains a handful of test levels based on a common theme, and shows minor refinements to the engine technology. It includes a playable helicopter.
Build 788 (August 27th, 2001) was originally configured to run a scripted flythrough of a demonstration level, but is semi-playable with a community patch. It introduces the minigun which was a common fixture in the 10XX and 11XX builds.
(Music is a collection of tracks found in the builds, including what appears to be a Rainbow Six theme remix, and the hospital ambiance from Clear Sky.)

When the one genius capable of stopping the terror disappears, it's up to his protege to finish his work. Now rookie adventurer Stalker Boy must enter the Zone, surviving by his wits in a hostile land where danger lurks around every corner.

This build, containing two presentation levels and one test map, was likely the prototype shown at the 2006 Leipzig Games Convention. Despite the rudimentary game mechanics, representing a very early stage in Metro's development, recognizable parts of the final product's level design and mutant menagerie are already included.
At this point the game had the placeholder title "Metro: Nightmare's World" and lacked a publisher. A promotional document included with the build shows that the early concept was much closer to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s open world than the Metro 2033 which 4A delivered nearly four years later, offering a 15x15 kilometer playable area, a day-night cycle, the need to eat and sleep, and 32 client multiplayer.
The early 4A engine shows a strong resemblance to its predecessor X-Ray, the architects of which left GSC to cofound 4A Games. Although S.T.A.L.K.E.R. itself was largely feature-complete by this time, it didn't ship for most of another year.Views on FreedomRobertQuinlan2015-04-07 | And also of Freedom.The Most Interesting Man In The ZoneRobertQuinlan2015-03-11 | Due to studio budget cuts, the voice actors have been laid off.Views on DutyRobertQuinlan2015-02-14 | Due to a complaint from Sergey Grigorovich, founder of GSC Game World, this video has been purged of fascists.Stalker Shows His True ColorsRobertQuinlan2014-12-24 | Made a dumb thing to try out some new tools and celebrate the coming retirement of my eight year old PC.

In contrast to their earlier releases, Q: What Is To Be Done? A: Join Duty! and Blowout Soon in the Future, this compilation marked a shift towards a more confrontational style, reflecting the group's growing rivalry with anarchist pot metal act Svoboton. It was Duto's first album recorded without founding percussionist Dima Polar Explorer, who was killed in a skirmish with bandits during the live tour for Blowout Soon.

Four hours of raw footage from FCAW's Tuesday Night Fights and Fall Classic, compressed into a twenty minute highlight reel and carefully edited to make me look good. Four hours of asstastic netcode, non-stick plasma grenades and egregious fuel rod gunnery. Four hours of nostalgia tripping in a game I haven't played online for seven years.

This version, dated January 2002, was the first and (AFAIK) only release of the mod, and the included ReadMe indicates work on Rampancy had already ended at that time. While unfinished and slightly buggy, it is playable.
Rampancy includes the full set of weapons from the Marathon trilogy plus those of Evil, a third party scenario based on Marathon Infinity, and a mixed bag of maps:

(M2) - 24:45 One Hit Wonder (M2) - 25:37
Facts and puzzling things about the mod:
- File creation dates show that some of these levels were last modified as much as a year and a half before the mod's release. Many seem to lack weapon or item spawns. -The Marathon 2/Infinity weapon models are complete, excepting the Enforcer gun. The Marathon 1 and Evil weapons use either Marathon Infinity models or Half-Life defaults. - The skull for Kill the Man with the Ball may spawn on certain maps even in deathmatch mode. - Some of the ambient sound effects have glitchy triggers. In the video this is most noticeable on House of Pain and Mars Needs Women. - The BOBs and Fighters in bobtest.bsp will respawn if the map is loaded in a multiplayer mode, but sometimes they spawn in the same space and cause clipping errors. - Duality doesn't work if launched in a multiplayer mode, but sometimes it works if loaded from the console. - I'm not sure what halls.bsp is based on. It uses a Marathon 1 texture set but it's not an M1 net map. Third party? - The file names for House of Pain and King of Pain are mixed up: M2 HoP is pain.bsp, Moo HoP is king.bsp and KoP is luck.bsp (King of Pain was originally House of Luck). - Lack of Vision fails to load, giving the message "Host_Error: no precache: *7"...

Title made with Marapfhont by Christtrekker.Stalker 1979 lost trailerRobertQuinlan2013-04-06 | Andrey Tarkovskiy edited this rough trailer for western studio executives while in negotiations to have 20th Century Fox distribute Stalker internationally. Corporate foot-dragging and a poor critical reception inside the USSR left the film in limbo for months after its domestic premiere, and the deal was ultimately terminated after the invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979.
A print of the lost trailer was found among the possessions of Mosfilm employee Georgiy Shutkin following his death in 2007. It was digitally restored for the film's thirtieth anniversary, but not released because of legal disputes between Mosfilm and the Shutkin family.
Tarkovskiy never commented publicly on the similarities between his trailer and one shown for a western science fiction film some weeks later.Rote Kapelle II: Touretten aus StalingradRobertQuinlan2012-10-29 | I know what you're thinking: did he respawn six times, or only five?
