  • @ Brummbrummquietsch are you playin this on a new version of windows or mac or are you using windows 95 or 98 cause thats what i had the game on.

  • @xKing5991x A few years ago I played it on Windows Vista and it worked flawlessly - and I saw that there is a new website called gogDOTcom or goodoldgamesDOTcom - they patch all old games that they work on new operation systems like Windows 7 and stuff :)

  • it would be awesome if the remake this game, with better texture and graphics

  • wasnt this really good graphics??? i rememeber my pc couldnt hardly play it

  • @DaBossk the graphics were not bad, but they were not "really good", in his times quake2 was around you know, THESE were really good graphics ;) , and remember that what make your pc graphics faster is not only your machine, is also how good optimized the game engine is.

  • It's on GoG!

  • finally i have found the games name thanks!

  • Does anyone of you guys know a way to get THIEF 1 and THIEF 2 working on a modern computer? i tried many methods, fixes available on the internet, and stuff like that. Nothing works...it's hard to consider this game Dead. Any help will be appreciated

  • @RefGod87 i dont know about the discs version. but you can buy thief gold as a digital download from good old games for 9.99 and they have made it compatible with new versions of windows. i am playing it on windows 7 with no issues. they are supposed to be releasing thief 2 as well in the future. website is "gog" dot com. they sell older PC classics and they are completely DRM free :)

  • @larrieuxa29 Thanks man, That's an awesome site, I found Thief Gold and all the old Alone in the dark trilogy!!!

  • @RefGod87 no problem, it is a great site... they also have thief II for download now by the way, they released it a few days after my original post to you

  • @RefGod87 oddly enough, i get thief2 to work but no thief1, for thief2 to work i right click on the exe and set compatibility mode to win98 and run as a administrator, thief 1 also executes but i get a black screen on the menu game :( i'm gonna try to use VirtualBox with a win98 i really want to play it again....

  • i played this when i was way too young and after completing this mission i met a zombie that chased me and i was too scared to ever play again :( but i did play TDS when i was older and enjoyed it thoroughly :D

  • i love this game and the 1st one but it so hard when not on hard and hope they re make it on ps3 to make it easy it great both of then

  • This mission is so much better than the second mission....

  • Will I be able to use the SS2 Mod Manager with this? Thats if HD texture mods exist.

    oh, and the custom resolution hack as well

  • This is possibly the best game ever made, too bad it's so hard to get those thief games to work on modern systems :-(

  • @joelsilfver does this game work on window xp

  • @samantha34ize Yes you could get it to work but it's a little tricky. There is a thread on the thief forum about it (do a search for through the looking glass thief forum on google).

    It doesn't always work perfect either, sometimes id exits to windows unexpectedly, atleast it does on my computer.

  • In this level I used to make a game of knocking out as many people and drowning them in the sink as I could.

  • I actually like the creatures it makes things more interesting

  • if only this game would work on windows 7 :(

  • Me and two of my friends played the demo of this game like a hundred times or something like that back in the days, just to make the guards and the "gay-chefs" say new things and man that was fun! Then I bought the whole game and got very disapointed that there were monsters in the game. I think that they should've kept it the same way as the first part (Lord Bafford's Manor) was. You're a thief after all and shouldn't be killing monsters >_<

  • @RandyVanSchon I agree in every word. So great this game is, so annoying are all those beasts and strange human-like, well, creatures. At least the number of beasts was reduced in the second part, but still annoying. Zombies are fine, though, when appearing in small numbers and only in dungeons or a lost cathedral. I hate games with too much creatures or creatures at all. :)

  • @Brummbrummquietsch I haven't seen much of the rest of the game since I remember that I just played a little further after I ran into a zombie. The zombies literally killed the feeling of the game for me. I just loved to hide in the darkness and "spy" when I was a little kid and this game gave me the chance to do that again without feeling stupid that is. I also remember playing the first Splinter Cell game and I just loved it! I really hope that they skip the monsters/creatures in Thief 4! :)

  • @RandyVanSchon in 2 they aperently removed the monsters in favor of mroe stealth missions of stealing items

  • the voices and the way they talk remind me of arx fatalis

  • poor pedestrian :)

  • This game is amazing and brings back so many old memories! I remember playing this first level over and over again, and i always knocked the guard out and threw his body down the well :P

  • @C30PNR Seems like me and my friends are not the only ones that played the first level over and over again :) Haha I remember doing that too many times :D

  • ah this brings back memories

  • lol @ 2:32 - In all the years I've been playing this game, I never knew about the hidden water and broad arrow hidden in that corner!! Freaking crazy!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i read about this game because i played system shock 2. is this hard? will i get lost alot?

  • @WaPow132 Its not too hard, but a challenge I would say. You wont get lost, but become addicted to it ;))

  • diggin the bubble-meter :D

  • "What'd they do? Just... bump into each other?" I remember the first time I ever heard that as a kid. I laughed so hard. To this day, I still giggle a little at it. Those guys at the front door are the best.

  • This was my first Pc game...followed by Age of Empires!

  • I loved this game as a kid. I would do the exact same thing!!! I always found the conversation in the beginning fascinating! This game needs a complete remaster using the frostbite 2.0 engine. But keep the mood and theme the same and slightly tweak the intro and cut scenes for a more in game dynamic. Also when released as a reboot include this masterful original as a free download.

  • 2:59 , why do doors suddenly appear ...

  • @Witbruintje lol =D

  • @Brummbrummquietsch

    why does nearly all guards have the same voice i played theif 2 the metal age funny how all guards r given one voice i wonder why????

  • @Brummbrummquietsch more like Lord Bafoons manor

  • @Witbruintje doors or objects are there all along.. when you point and want to interact with it, it lights up :)

  • @Witbruintje they just light up when you are close enough

  • 2:43 i will NEVER climb into...oh nevermind :P

  • I really don't know how to play Theif, insted of just knocking everyone out and just walking around I killed everyone slowly and almost died :D

  • Ich habe Windows Vista Home Basic (32b), ATI Radeon HD3450, und 3 gb ram

    Und wenn ich spiele zB. 5 Minuten, Thief ist geschlossen selbst.

    Kannst du mir schreiben warum ?

    Entschuldigung für meine Fehler aber ich komme aus Polen und bin ich noch nicht perfekt mit Deutsch. :)

  • awesome game,it defined a new way of sneaking,very atmospheric,sometimes even scary game but all in all great

  • do u no were i can buy it

  • I love this game ... It shaped me as a child ... since I was 11 I played it ... and it fascinated me so ... Garrett and the story is so unfathomable, mysterious and mystical ... there is no other game that can keep up because of the atmosphere and depth ... I just love it.

    Sorry for my bad English, I'm German ^ ^

  • @RosenJeanette Even when, I would not notice it, since I'm German, too. =D But you're right. One of the best games ever and I remember when it came out - I almost played it every day. Kinda addicted. Aber hey, warum schreibe ich eigentlich auf Englisch, wenn keiner von uns richtig Englisch kann? =D

  • @Brummbrummquietsch Na dann ist ja gut ^^ Dann reden wir lieber Deutsch ;) Also das Spiel ist einfach Spitze in das Beste überhaupt, was es gibt =) Sage ich mit vollster Überzeugung ^^

  • @RosenJeanette Ich hab bisher auch keines mehr gespielt (egal ob T1, T2 oder T3), dessen Stimmung mich so dermaßen gefangen und gefesselt hat. Vom überragenden Spielspaß ganz zu schweigen. Hab zwar schon viele Spiele gespielt (mittlerweile keine mehr) aber keines konnte den Thiefs das Wasser reichen. Ament fang ich wieder an, wenn T4 kommt - falls denn sowas in der Art geplant ist. Und wenn, dann hoffentlich genau so gut, nicht nur auf Graphik gezüchtet...

  • @RosenJeanette i played thief since i was like 4 lol

  • @RosenJeanette eaxctly how I would've put it, many ppl now a days dont know that Thief was and still is, and how it paved the way for many games now a days. I feel so passionate when someone asks me what Thief is about, I get so excited to tell them, the story lines, then music, sounds, environments are remarkable, I will never forget Thief. I 1st purchased back in 98 when I was 13,I have them all, and their making a Thief 4, I cannot wait, Theif is a game Ill keep forever its that good.

  • Damn, I remember this game.

  • I was wondering what those shiny orbs over the lamps are. I tried toshoot one with a water arrow, but it didn't go out... Help please? I'm just a newbie so...^^;

  • I don't know if you will know or not but will this game work for windows 7?

  • @Rrazk I think it will but you will have to do a lot of modifying and changing some settings. For example this game doesn't work well when the computer is running on multiple processors and so on. You can check this website out, they have a lot of answered questions on how to run a thief game on advanced PCs.

    ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php­?t=75031#install

  • @Rrazk Use Google, I got the answer in 2 seconds. Its not that hard.

  • Thief niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • How do the thieves voice;)

  • @Brummbrummquietsch

    You don't remove the bodies from crime scene?

  • Never played this game, but thirty seconds into the video and I'm already impressed

  • @doogle5747 Check it out, all of the theif games are good. Some of the later levels (in very dark mines) are actually pretty scary?

  • Oh not that taffer again :P

  • I only played MineCraft once but Thief kinda reminds me of it...without the you know killing and stealth

  • I finally got Thief Gold on Windows Vista

  • those spiders in the underwater grotto can be killed by placing yourself at the edge where the the land tappers into the water - those spiders come after you to a certain depth and drown - no need to to use an arrow and results granteed

  • damnit those games are epic even though they don't have the best graphics!the thief series is better than sex!

  • LOL at 3:19 - Trying to get off ladder onto ledge and falling down injuring self. I remember when ladders used to be the most lethal things in games!

  • is this game suppossed to be scary?

  • despite of playing many next gen games,i still miss this game...when i was a kid and used to rush back to home from school for playing this...great game

  • i dont get it... what do the apples and bread do?? Ive taken them and ive eaten them and theyve done nothing to my health amount...

  • when i was 8 i played this, and i died loads, and i was REALLY scared of the giANT SKULL WHEN YOU DIED!

  • @warbossworm : lol , giant skull ! thats funny part to be scared .. lol .

  • is this work on XP or what?

  • @Soundtrack1000 Well I dont know, since I'm just the uploader, but I can say that both THIIEFs run on WindowsXP, even on WindowsVista. (Tried that by myself)

  • @Soundtrack1000 You will need to download a patch to run it on Xp, and you will need to disable one of your processors if you are running a duel or quad.

  • @Soundtrack1000

    This game works on 98,ME,2000,XP,Vista & 7

    You have to shut down your Dual,Quad or 6core CPU. This game works only with one core.

  • you dont use cutscenes?

  • @Shady2viewer Unfortunately they werent included in this walkthrough. I uploaded them seperately on my channel, but I didnt make a playlist of them, neither did I added them on the correct place in the playlist. Lazy me :P

  • oh-emm-gee i've had this game for ages and now the cd's just there collecting dust. Even so, how the fuck do you get pass the second last level?!

  • I remember playing this game when I was about 6 or 7 years old... I never got the story or anything, I just LOVED to play it.

    But I never got past Mission 2 because I was so freakin' afraid of those... dunno, "Zombies" in the mines down there. Everytime I saw them I paused the game and quit it xD

  • @Muskelman19 I believe it but mission 3 was freaking  too! ;) SCAAAAARY :)))))

  • hahahahaha yea man i know wat u mean. i used to get scared as shit when i would encounter those zombies in the mines. i never got passed level 2 either

  • @Muskelman19 thought that was my comment... :P i was the same way.

  • @Muskelman19 same except i sreamed and paused and ran out of the computer room. i stepped on him and he stood up lol xD

  • @Muskelman19 Pretty Much the same here haha, my dad played this when I was 6-7 ish so I played up to the "zombie" part and got scared and it got too hard for me, then I've just got into them properly now that I'm 20 haha, the best stealth games ever imo.

  • @Muskelman19 Same thing happened to me with the wolfos in majora's mask. The only thing i ever killed were the spiders xD

  • Inside of blast

  • In Easy mode it takes only 5 minutes without killing anyone with use the secret way to Baffords Throne Room :) 

  • they should remake these games

  • Love the conversation at around 6:00.

    "No, then you catch them before they get inside, you taffer"

    -"Ooooooohhhhhhhhh!"

  • I want to get this game from some download service but can't find one. Any suggestions?

  • @oCHUCKx buy the cd?

  • @Reaper5594 Of course, you even should do this if you dont want a guard fall over another guard ;)

  • Old people don't change even in video games. When I was a kid they made bears like this and made them fight LOL!!

  • haha just found the install and play disk in my old stuff installing now :)

  • Guy in black clothing comes out of the sewer with a blackjack in his hand.

    Guard: "How's it going"

  • @Drbolla345

    *muahahaha* THIS just made my day and started my day with laughing :D

  • @Drbolla345 should be called.

    thief "meet the truncheon"

  • @Drbolla345 Which minute?

  • @studioworks1990 At 3:16 to 3:18 :D

  • @Drbolla345 Thanks.

  • @Drbolla345 Maybe that's was normal in Medieval ;)

  • I played this when i was 4. When i was on this first mission, i just stormed in the building with the 3 guards and tried to kill them and i died....of course.

  • I like how ur blackjacking the daylight outta these guards.....ROFL

  • @nayil100 Especially the drunk one!! LMAO!!!

  • i played this when i was 9, and now after all these years :o

    unbelievable how those shit looking zombies can still keep their creepiness in bonehoard & return to cathedral in 2010 -.-

  • lol i remember this =D but my version was crappy cos everwhere was pitch black D:

  • @cpt216 Sounds more like a wrong setting for screen / brightness maybe?

  • noway setting was full so the disc was kinda...

  • I only ever had the demo for this, but I played it heaps lol, might dl the full version for some nostalgia

  • @thejordan01 Which level featured the demo of T1? I remember the demo of T2, which featured a great castle / mention, and the level started nearby, on the roofs. When I'm not mistaken, this level wasnt in the final version of the game, though :(

  • Ah the nostalgia. I used to play this in the early 2000s when I was 11 and so.

  • omg i played this game when i was 5 :D

  • u know this was the first M for mature game that I have ever played. In this level I went into the building with the three guards and they killed me and it scared the cr@p out of me....I was 4...lol. Cant wait till Thief 4 comes out.

  • are there cheat codes for this game (cuz i have it) like invincibility? or trainers?

  • 2:31 good on yer. those servants are total gimps

  • I was going to mix in the video briefings like I did for Thief 2, but it was my first upload to archive, and I wasn't entirely certain that the entire project would get shot down for having Rustmonkey's stuff in there. So I put all the briefings into a separate clip so I could just delete that instead. Obviously, now, I wish that I had put the briefings onto the front of each mission.

  • great video :) made me want to play the game again

    5/5

  • I love the conversation at 5:55. LOL! I still remember playing this game as a kid and laughing my ass off when I heard that.

  • i love this game its my favourite game ever on a scale from 1 to 10 i give it quadrillion

  • i loved this game till i got to the theives guild ... then it gave me some serious motion sickness -.-

  • Call me a wimp, but the overall atmosphere is quite creepy 0_0

  • The thief games are great at doing that. Even when it's not meant to be creepy, it is. :P

  • this was as close to metal gear solid as it could get in those time

  • i used to love this game soo much but the cd got scratched and wouldnt work =[ i wanna play this game soo badly. i miss it alot

  • Same here (except for the fact that I've never played this game before).

  • amazon

  • is this the best game in the series

  • @Soundtrack1000 Definitely. Well I personally like Thief 2 the METAL AGE more. Less zombies and those robots are really cool. Plus, more pickpocketing.

  • I really appreciate you including the conversations between the guards and such. Great upload, thanks!

  • 6:16 ooooooohh ^^ best game ever

  • Even now, this game manages to offer a fairly unique and high quality experience that you really can't get from most other stealth games (Cough*MetalGearSolid*Cough).

    They should put this on steam.

  • I cant believe they didn't

  • Yeah well, i like Metal Gear Solid , even if it's only for snakes voice (lol) but thief is the best stealth game I've seen out there, and most of all i like the atmosphere best. It's sinister, black and stylish, and it's containing horror or at least elements of it. also the thingy with the seeing stone is cool, not like in oblivion or fallout 3 where it only says if you're spotted or not, here you know when they CANT spot you and thats really good. the game relies on it

  • I love this game so much. Looking Glass Studios knew how to make a BADASS game back then.. but today's games rather focus on graphics and physics and all that crap. which makes them disregard GAME ATMOSPHERE.

    And Thief always was BEST at exactly that!

  • Haha, Lord Bafford. What a twat.

  • "Haha, Lord Bafford. What a twat. " LMAO!!!!! leg end

  • Taffer!

    Ha, first! ^^ ;)

  • i love this game its the best ever and i play it again ^^ the directors cut version!

  • 4:47 aw man, are those spiders? (shivers)

  • My dark project crashes, I dont know why. I have a new pc and in my old pc worked well, but on the new crashes when i start playing. Somebody could help me? This is a great game.

    Sorry for the bad english

  • If you think *your* English is bad, than you havent not yet heard of mine *lol*

    Does your new machine has dual-/quadcore or stuff like that?

  • Look: Here is my pc :P

    Intel Core 2CPU 4400 2.00Ghz

    Memory: 2048 MB

    Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT 512 MB

  • So when I'm not mistaken, you have two CPUs. Try this: Start the game, hit Alt+Tab, open TaskManger, search the process "thief.exe", right click and tell him only to use ONE cpu. So uncheck all but one and go back to game and voila! Worked fine for me, hope you have the same result =)

  • Yes , I have done that, but when I press play mission, the screen turns black and stays black. lol

  • But now I can play. Thanks :D

  • And what was finally the problem? :)

  • who gives a goddam shit how bad ur english is as long as we understand u its okay dont listen to idiots who say your english is bad

  • Now *thats* a statement!

  • thx

  • Bit late replying..but for me the processor trick with task manager works, if it still crashs after that right click on whatever application you use to boot thief up, a shortcut or so will do and click properties, go to the compatibility tab and tick the box for run this application in compatibility mode in windows 2000, some people say windows 98 compatibility mode worked for them but give them all a try with one processor running and it hopefully it'll work for ya :).

  • my fav level its so funny to toy with the guards and the Civs

  • lol, they just dont make bears like they used to

  • Perhaps my favourite video game of all time.  Thanks for sharing.

  • are you sure its plays on vista? i have acer aspire 5735z...

  • For some reason, your HUD looks different from mine. Did you use any mods? HP Shields and the Light Gem seem smaller...

    BTW: This video might've been a bit late...

  • Sorry couldnt say that, just uploaded this stuff. If its just smaller it might be just a higher resolution...

  • Well, the HP Shields don't look like shields at all in the video. All I see are tiny little ticks/tally marks/lines. I just upgraded my copy of Thief Gold with graphic mods, but the shields aren't that small...

    PS: I use 1280 x 1024 resolution. Do you use some kind of EXTREME resolution like 1900 x 1200, or 4096 x 2160?

  • No, I, formyself, just play on a 1280x1024 and my HP-shields are not that tiny. Maybe it also depends on the graphic card / the support of it.

    Strange thing is the loot-numbers and the name of the weapon is as big as here but not the shields =/

  • What system are you running it on

  • Currently on my ACER Aspire M3200 rig with Windows Vista, runs just perfectly without problems (after telling the game using only one CPU).

  • Mine runs, but he graphics are terrible. If I try and run some of the options it crashes, oh well..
