The background and some terminology of the game ("The Zone", "Stalker") is borrowed from the popular science fiction novella ''Roadside Picnic'' by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and the 1979 Andrei Tarkovsky film ''Stalker'' that was loosely based on it, as well as ''Stalker'', the film's subsequent novelization by the original authors. | The background and some terminology of the game ("The Zone", "Stalker") is borrowed from the popular science fiction novella ''Roadside Picnic'' by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and the 1979 Andrei Tarkovsky film ''Stalker'' that was loosely based on it, as well as ''Stalker'', the film's subsequent novelization by the original authors. | ||

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the player assumes the identity of an amnesiac "Stalker", an illegal explorer/artifact scavenger in "The Zone", named "The Marked One". The Zone is the location of an alternate reality version of the Chernobyl Power Plant after a second, fictitious explosion, which contaminated the surrounding area with radiation and caused strange otherworldly changes in local fauna, flora and the laws of physics. Stalker, in the context of the film, refers to the older meaning of the word as a tracker and hunter of game, or a guide. | In S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the player assumes the identity of an amnesiac "Stalker", an illegal explorer/artifact scavenger in "The Zone", named "The Marked One".
