It all started with the Thief II demo for me. Immediately I fell in love with the sneaky nature of the game. Also the demo was most excellent in luring me in to this dark and mysterious world with a portion of one the best missions in the entire series = "Life of the party". I was completely sold and to this day there has not been a game quite like this!
In honorably mentions I would say that Splinter Cell 1 is close to the magic that Thief delivered. An amazing sneaker also but the king for me will always be Thief :angel:

I had a friend who had a big stack of PC Accelerator magazines. I followed the previews of Thief and being a Dungeons and Dragons fan I thought it looked like a lot of fun. Thieves in D&D were always the underdogs who still got the job done; no metal armor or magic powers to rely on, just skills and cunning. The PC Accelerator guys were spot on and it was a great thieving simulator.

I once saw a video on YouTube that actually said that Thief is one of the granddaddys of stealth games. Thought that sounded nice, bought Thief 3 on Amazon and started playing. I think I hated it at the beginning, because i always bite the dust und wasn´t exactly a masterthief. I played on and after some time i loved it. The Story was amazing, great stealth mechanics, nice graphics (till to this day, all Thief titles look good due their use of lightning) I grabbed the 2nd one and loved it too, now playing the first one. My favourite is the 3rd because of story(who will ever forget Gamall, the keepers and Laurly) and the amazing Levels, like the Museum, seaside mansion, the cradle, gamall´s lair... and the creep factor was great (still not unterstand why so many peole don´t like that game :confused:) 2nd was amazing, loved Karras and his mechanized friends and the perfectly told story. I manly Play the first one for the story and the Levels (really looking forward the haunted cathedral) I also think the reboot is not that bad, í think i´m gonna like it, but not love it like the old ones. FMs for Thief 2 are really good, most of them.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but ZylonBane just made me laugh.

http://i59.tinypic.com/vzziw1.jpg i still have the magazine thief 2 was bundled with - giochi per il mio computer - november 2002 - i was... 13 years old and my english was way worse than now,i understood only parts of the plot and readables - my imagination had to fill the gaps and that's probably why i love this game so much. Living on the mountains in a little village in northern italy i had to get games cheap with magazines (videogames shops were 35 km far away and internet wasn't an option at the time). I wasn't even sure about buying this number, how i am glad that i did - since then played thief DS when it came out (it's nice but not in the same league as 1 and 2 - i really don't like the way they developed the plot "disclosing" too much of the mistery of the city, to me they just showed too much) and years later finally got my hands on Thief 1. Of course i played a lot of FMs in the meantime (loved Haplo's) and now my english is good enough to understand almost everything. Maybe one day i'll play the reboot...when someone give me a free copy or steam sells it at 1€ :cool:

How did I find Thief?
Hard...
VERY HARD.
I failed miserably at Lord Bafford. I think the idea that I shouldn't just kill (I played only Quake prior to that) was too revolutionary, the movement - too sluggish.
I just didn't understand that I shouldn't actually kill all guys there...
Good thing I had a schoolmate who was patient to explain how the game works.

Thief TDP was a 1998 Christmas gift to me from my older brother, along with Tomb Raider 2, back when I was a wee senior in university.
Edit: No, Tomb Raider 2 would had to have been the Christmas before. It was my frame of reference though. I remember being troubled that I couldn't see Garrett's feet in the early days.

Apparently he's got extraordinarily large feet and would prefer that people didn't see them.
