Thief - The Dark Project 13th Anniversary Review

Blog: http://www.acantophis.net.tc
I'm late with the review, since the Anniversary was on November, 30. But here it is, my very first video game review for my new series: Finest of '90s Games (My alltime favourites, games of my childhood, etc...) with a proud amount of 3 minutes in lenght. Not sure what game I gonna do next time.

Additions: I didn't mentioned the Map, Loot and Buy system between each level but included scenes of it. Strange...

Should have mentioned the limited fighting capabilities of the player as the reason for him to encourage in hiding & sneaking.

I shouldn't had presented the "Blackjack" before I mentioned it in the speech, cuz it destroyed the surprise.

Removed System Shock 2 from the history list, simply because it's the creation of Ken Levine and Irrational Games while LGS just lent their Dark-Engine and other small help to finalize the product.

Didn't add credits and sources at the end of the video. Here they are:
Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Terra Nova: SFC, Thief: DTP gameplay by myself. Cover art by their respected owners. Thief: TDP Credits Theme found on http://www.thief-thecircle.com.

Very nice job. I'm starting to go through and enjoying your videos.

I forgot about Thief, I had assumed that Metal Gear Solid was the original Stealth Action predecessor. I guess since it didn't come out in a console it went unnoticed outside the PC community.

@pkhris The two Metal Gear games for MSX of 85 and 89 are two the first successful stealth games. Thief is the first first-person stealth game. A difference.

awesome! :D

finally somebody talking seriously about looking glass andTHIEF!

its so sad that this video doesnt get that much attention as it deserves... same as THIEF... i really dont understand why it didnt sell so well like other games of their time, since its one of the best games around here. looking glass did such awesome jobs, eric brosius did an absolutely genious soundwork, its really sad that they closed their studio. thief 3 in my oppinion has already lost some of its original charm...

Pretty good. Happy 5th anniversary. What I love about Thief the most is stealing loot.
