As far as what people could do with it? Honestly, with engines like Darkplaces or some of the Quake 2 source projects, an engine like the one for Prey is basically long since outdated. It wouldn't give us anything really new to work with I don't think. Especially if it wasn't working 100% as it should have been.

Ah, so the Dark Places engine is powerful enough to pull off what the original PREY was struggling to do? If only we had access to the original design document, then it we could see if a DP powered PREY can be made.
DP or the recent version of the QII engine could be just what fans need to recreate the original DNF from 1997, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I forget 3D Realms' restrictions on how their copyright is used outside of their respective engines.

It'd be great if we could get some of the old guys in here to comment on it. That was a whole other era of gaming, and i'd love to know more about what went on in the office back in this days.

I agree, Commando Nukem. 3D Realms must have a PREY retrospective, and maybe a DNF and MAX PAYNE retrospectives (they were being worked upon around the same time). Maybe the theme of the nostalgic interviews would be 3D REALMS' projects of 1998.
