Is it possible to get extremely old versions?

Is it possible to get extremely old versions like 0.7.3?

Also, are there any experimental versions prior to 0.7.3? I saw images of versions prior to 0.7.3 on the wiki.

See this thread:

I don't know though what the oldest versions are that Steam provides.

It actually says so in the first image (Steam client screenshot) that is linked in the tread you referenced: version 1.0.5
(And, yes, I just checked that's still the oldest version available on Steam.)

As to downloading versions before that: I have no idea if - and if so, how - this can be done. Sorry.

No, the versions that are available on Steam or the store are the only legally available versions. For anyone else to share any other version with you would technically be a EULA/copyright violation.

As the others have said, there are legal historic versions out there, but I'm not sure if they all install properly at this point -- and 1.0.5 is the oldest. IIRC, I had problems when I tried to install 1.0.5 from steam.
