I got on Dark Project right out of the gate, at the ripe old age of 25! Damn, I guess I'm 33 now...

I was 29, actually - started in 2001, and haven't stopped.

I first played thief 1 in 2000, during summer holidays. I was 16.
I remember I spent around 4 or 5 hours in Bafford's manor, I couldn't handle the gameplay, I couldn't manage to approach any AI unseen.

Haha that one made my day ^____^ By the way was that when Looking Glass was still ruling the empire of us taffers before they closed?
Hazy memory brought on by older age and liking for beer - don't think so. Must have been around 2001/2ish, they'd closed by then.
When I first played TDP it was fine and was on Windows 98 and one of those monster monitors that take up half a desk. Now its XP and an LCD monitor - and you're right, definitely green.

At first I thought I was suppose to avoid the guards when I was playing expert mode the first time, and I didn't realize that I could've knocked them out with teh blackjack (yeah I was stupid that time :( )

I was about seven when i first played the dark project demo back in nineteen ot ninety seven. It took five minutes to load, it scared the crap out of me, and i had no idea how to play, but i loved it.
Believe it or not, but for some reason i played t2 before t1...
Who the hell is victoria?

Watched someone else play Thief: The Dark Project when it came out around the time I was ten (spent a lot of time advising them to throw bodies into the water). Got TMA when I was fourteen, played it a few months later. Got TDS when it came out about a year or so later. I've been on and off fan-missions since then.

I must've been 13 or 14, back in '99...
I first played the T1-Demo (the Bafford mission) My initial reaction: Unbearable load-times, terrible graphics (of which you couldn't see that much, anyway), odd AI and messed-up weapon functionality (that club does more damage than a dozen strikes with the sword?!?). Must be a crap game!
It wasn't until Thief Gold was released that I decided to replay the demo (by then I had learned that this game was actually about stealth) and have been hooked ever since.

Must've been 9 or 10 years old when I got the TG demo from PC Gamer magazine. I think it was the the March or April 2000 issue. I played it for a month and bought Thief 2 when it came out.
Soulforge gave me nightmares as a kid, I still haven't beat it :p

Let's just say I was on the far side of 30. The first time I played TDP I was totally blown away by the whole experience (except the zombies, of course :p ). Since I'd been playing Tomb Raider and games of that ilk for quite awhile I wasn't used to hearing other AI carrying on conversations in the background without a cutscene being involved, so it was quite novel to be lurking & suddenly hear a couple AI having a conversation. In fact, everything about Thief was novel and I was hooked immediately. Been loving it ever since. :thumb:
