Hi guys, I am on the hunt for a VERY hard to find Far Cry 1 mod that was released around 2005(ish) by a now defunct game company called Galahan Games. I have been doing research on their cancelled PC game called "INCorporated" and there was never anything released other than two tech demos before its cancellation. The second tech demo used the Reality Engine which was eventually acquired by Epic. That tech demo is available and still downloadable on Galahan's archived website. The first tech demo was a Far Cry 1 mod and that file has been lost as far as I can tell. There are a few others that have gone hunting for it and have come up empty handed as well. I contacted a couple of websites, ModDB.com and NoFrag.com, that had references to the mod file and both informed me they do not have that file anymore after searching their server's backups. The filename of the INCorporated Far Cry 1 mod tech demo is "INCorporated_TechDemo_20050316_Setup.exe". I have also searched various websites that have bundled mod packs. Anyway, if any of you have a large collection of Far Cry 1 mods or know anyone who might please feel free to PM me if you have access to this file. The first person who can provide this file to me I am willing to PayPal them $100 for the file as long as I can confirm it is a working copy. I will immediately post here when it has been found. Finding this tech demo will be the final missing piece in the preservation of this cancelled title. Thanks for reading.
My original post about this is over at Vogons.org:
All the info that has been gathered so far can be found in the comments section of Unseen64 here: www.unseen64.net/2013/10/03/incorporated-pc-x360-tech-demo-cancelled/#comment-349620 |

I have had a few people respond in various forums trying to help and I do appreciate it, but please read my posts carefully and follow my links about the research I have already done. Some are confusing the second tech demo as the file I am looking for which it is not. The filename from the original website of the tech demo I am looking for is "INCorporated_TechDemo_20050316_Setup.exe" as I have stated before and the file size is ~130.9MB. It requires the Far Cry 1 game to function and is a mod. The second tech demo is a stand-alone Reality Engine tech demo that has a file size much larger of ~555-560MB and can be found here: web.archive.org/web/20051120070918/http://www.incorporated-game.com/and various other download sites. Notice the Far Cry 1 modification tech demo I am looking for has a number sequence of 20050316 which is the date code of March 16, 2005. The second Reality Engine tech demo has a number sequence 20051004 which is the date code of October 4, 2005. Thanks to everyone who is trying to help as this may never be found, but thought I would try and ask the Far Cry community regardless since the file I am looking for was hosted back in the mid 2000s at various websites, but has since disappeared. |

Hopefully you can find what you are looking for, but it's fairly specific. Sadly I don't have anything pre-dating Far Cry 2 (other than the actual Far Cry 1 retail of course) Maybe someone else will have something useful for you (or another idea for finding it)... pinging: mikeweeks2346 Steve64b flanker1six predaaator |

Thanks for the reply,
I restore vintage hardware and collect hard to find software for museums and collectors at little to no profit. It’s a hobby of mine to save this stuff for computer related historical preservation. I take a particular interest in cancelled and unreleased PC titles and this Far Cry 1 mod is part of the bigger picture for INCorporated. I have definitely mined as much as I can find that is publicly available and that particular mod would be the final piece of this puzzle for me. It was publicly available for a short time in 2005 from the now defunct Galahan Games on their website and that was it. They moved on to their stand-alone Reality Engine tech demo later in 2005 which was also posted on their website. For some reason the Reality Engine tech demo got archived by the Wayback Machine, but not the first Far Cry 1 tech demo. Maybe some day it will show up, but this hunt has been ongoing, on and off, for a few years now by me and a few others and once in awhile I make a new push to find it. Who knows, it may show up one day, but I do love to see the development history of these sort of things. Cheers.

I'm afraid I can't help any. I had only discovered the Far Cry series when FC1 had already gone on discount retail sale some time after it was released. That box is still sitting on my shelf however ...

I dig the idea of historic preservation. Unfortunately, my searches for it came up empty too. :/

Bounty has increased to $200. That is my max budget for this preservation project as this is a hobby of mine.

The INCorporated Far Cry 1 tech demo mod has been found and all credits go to a Discord user by the name of Roboserg. The mod is just a handful of animated 3D character models with music in the background. You can somewhat control the camera to see the models at slightly different angles. It completes my quest in documenting the interesting development history of this unreleased game. |
