A first-version Prey video shows the guy setting up a few portals and then shooting himself through them, but it was more restricted in the version that actually got released I'm pretty sure...
Anyway, it's obvious whose work was first and whose was deritive.
(beta testing? No, no... Prey was started back in the late '90s, worked on for a few years, and then cancelled after development problems, before being restarted by a new development team (not internal to 3DRealms, unlike the original version of Prey) with a liscenced engine (Quake 3) a few years ago. They are essentially two completely different games, one finished and one not, sharing a few basic things, mainly the idea of portals and a Native American hero (though his name and backstory changed).)
