Heh, they were also going to release a fully supported retail version of unrealed - I remember calling EB and other places practically every week for months after Unreal's release to check if they had a release date for it :rolleyes:

Would be awesome if we could persuade them to release some of that cut content, even if it's only a few DM maps that never saw the light of day.

Hm good point. Nevertheless, thanks to the strategy guide we know there are some DM maps that were intended for inclusion that ultimately weren't for whatever reason, and also didn't make it into the Fusion pack (one assumes, unless their names were changed).

Is it just me or are the Krall skins in the early cuts really kickass compared to the ones that were released?

Check these:

THose Early shots are awsome ...I wish they would put those maps out it a upgrade or something like they do with the UT packs ..That would be Great the Map people here could get a hold of the cut maps and rework them a little for SP Unreal ..
any chance that those maps might become available in the near furture seems like such a waste to just leave tem some where
un used and un loved it is a shame

There was a (non graphic-card specific) general demo for Unreal I. I remember 'cuz you could get it for the macintosh too. Pretty sure it didn't contain any alternate material though (though I never actually had it, so...).

Indeed it is - and I think I now have the only legitimate copy left on the planet :)

MS-paint textures & white light aside it's actually recognizable as the Unreal engine. Wish they'd kept the early builds with the dragon & stuff.. it would have rocked to play them.

What ver was the alpha at?
I searched through an sob server and found UnrealBeta209.zip
It only appears to be an early patch though just system files.

Yeah I have a couple of posters with that image (the tongue) on one side and the game box image on the other. One of them has been on the wall behind my desk at work for a couple of years now :)

Do you guys remeber the magic about unreal?
I mean, when you played the game there was something in it, a feeling - something illusive that I dont think even the developers had counted on. Unreal wasn't THAT much hyped, yet the screens seamed so... unreal - The impressive architecture of great old temples and crashed starships - the fearsome aliens known as the Skaarj and like... everything

I felt the same way about Halo (though Halo is quite hyped :)
Though not anymore as Halo to the PC is a year away or so
