Thief Gold

released on Oct 26, 1999

An expanded game of Thief: The Dark Project

Thief Gold is a first-person perspective stealth game. It was the first game to use light and sound gameplay mechanics – different surfaces cause varying noise. You can use sound to your advantage - it's not only your main source of information on how close your enemies are but you can use it to distract them, for example by throwing objects. With unscripted levels, and objectives and paths altered based on difficulty settings, Thief Gold can give you hours of non-repetitive gameplay. This extended edition includes all of the missions from the first release, as well as three new missions adapted to the original storyline, with full voice acting and new graphics. It can still be considered the first game in the Thief series.

A fun thing from the 90s, i played it one night but it hasn't aged particularly well. Still pretty cool and fun if you're into older games

Its aight i guess some of these levels are right stinkers tho i tell you hwat man but the sword 🗡️ is a cool level like me 😎

I got filtered by hole in wall that is literally indiscernible 🤧

Can't say I got very far, found the mechanics hard to get used to and had the hardest time seeing where it was supposed to be dark. But I'll get back to this one in the foreseeable future. Really dug the vibe of the locations.

I love Thief and what it did considering how old it is, its level design, the way it uses verticality, offers multiple ways to enter and exit the places you're supposed to steal from, all of this was so ingenious for a game this old, truly ahead of its time.

On the other hand, I find myself not being able to recommend it due to how poorly its controls aged and this is truly a shame.

If you want a stealth game with an amazing atmosphere and don't mind old fps jank, I definitely recommend it but otherwise you should play something else.
