Deep Space Nine The Fallen Beta or earlier (Request)

tef953

Hello guys,

I actually have 2 questions/requests:

1: Does anybody know if there exists an beta version (or earlier) version of the game Star Trek Deep Space Nine the Fallen from 2000 available somewhere?
2: Does anybody have the leaked alpha build of Stargate Sg-1 The Alliance ?

Since both answers are going to be very likely negative I decided not to create two threads, I hope this is ok and I thought it's still worth a try

Anyways thanks and have a nice day!

Alpha/beta builds of games that old, particularly licensed ones are extremely rare. At the time, there were no open alpha/beta stages as we know them today. The Fallen just doesn't have any, and The Alliance didn't have any leaks.

Thank you for your response I understand. But what about the magazines that test games ? For example I read an old preview of Ds9 The Fallen where the author stated "we took a look at the beta version of the game..." Did testers of games get a beta version (in the past) so they could make previews or how did that work? Because if so I imagine that at least at that point a beta version existed (only if my interpretation is correct) but of course 16 years later it would be gone.

Regarding Sg-1 The Alliance - yes you're right, that was my mistake. Leaked would mean that it would be available on the internet. At least one person got the pc alpha version of it (he/she received it to do a coverage of the work) and a few others have the xbox version of the alpha build for reasons I don't know x).

Thanks for the explanations

Magazine editors are not really allowed to distribute those, especially if they played it on some event like E3. Whether they even have old beta discs is a story of itself for each and every game they test. But yeah, they often got early game peeks just to create hype on a title, not just for shits and giggles.

Thanks for the insight into that process, Plokite_Wolf
