It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.

I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.

Damn, how is the Prey 2017 version one of my all time favorites but I didn't know there was a 2006 Prey game.

It probably doesn't help that it's abandonware and was limited largely to the PC and Xbox 360.

A lot of people only hear about it in "top abandonware games" lists that would mention it and games like Alpha Protocol which was recently relisted.

They are completely unrelated. They just had a really cool name they didn't want to lose.
