Random Encounter - Thief: The Dark Project

I really enjoyed your videos and they give a good idea of how great this game is but also the many choices you have to make as you progress. IMO thief GOLD and the Metal Age are the best games ever made. Then comes the original Deus Ex. Only stealth game since Thief that I really enjoyed were the first 3 Splinter Cells but Thief will always be the best. I bought the first 2 games years ago but I have some trouble making them work on my win7 pc so I might just buy those from gog which also have some extras that sound interesting. Thanks again for these great and funny videos. I hope you will make more Thief GOLD videos and I can't wait for the Thief 2 videos.

this looks terrible..... granted its old but man, were people really this bored in 1998?

You're the best, Danny!

The game is good.

The reviewer is an imbecile.

..And a cheater.

8:28 sounds like Varys the eunych from Game of Thrones...

I'm still madly in love with this incredible game.

I really need to get back and finish this game!

Thief was a very well done game. Still one of the most absorbing stealth games of all time.

Heretic II!

Great game, lots of fond memories of it. Here's another suggestion for your next ''Random'' Encounter: Tenchu!

Thief was such a fantastic game. I remember being blown away by it at the time. 

If nothing else they really nailed the atmosphere. For being a game solely about sneaking, it's actually pretty intense. Something about modern stealth games they don't seem to do as well. That may have to do a lot with stealth games falling out of style and becoming stealth action games now, I don't know. They're cool but they don't have that same level of tension that games like Thief have.

I remember getting it as a birthday gift back in 1999, yeah I was 11 back then, never got past the mines mission. Then a few years later the disk broke. And a couple of years back I found it new and packaged, didn't thought it a second and bought it, and then I could finally finish it. What an awesome game.

I've enjoyed those games of yester year, especially Thief series.

oh this is so ripping off Dishonoured.........

Down in the Bonehoard ! Great mission !

Twisted Metal Black for ps2.... btw very nice video as always

@dannyodwyer Oh, man, you actually went and did it! You're so cool, man! Thank you for accepting my suggestion! 

Watching this video, and being a Looking Glass Studios fan, I can't help but think how awesome and ahead of their time the guys at LGS were if a game like Thief that's almost 15 years old and was made with (nowadays) obsolete technology still looks awesome and mindblowing and innovative so many years after its release. I can't stop lamenting their closure.

buying it from gog ; )

This being the first time I've ever seen Thief in action makes me ask about the technology. Is it some sort of magic powered technology? The Moss Arrows Danny mentioned and the street lamps are confusingly cool.

Dan - play Afterlife or The Dig (lucas arts)!

It is enjoyable to see this game in action; here are some other interesting games: Deus Ex [2000] and Rage [2011].

EXACTLY - I ALREADY SAW THAT PULSE AD, THERE IS NO POINT IN SHOWING IT TO ME AGAIN. AND  I ALSO KNOW ABOUT SNAPDRAGON PROCESSOR FOR MOBILES.

I WILL COMMENT IN CAPS EACH TIME I SEE THAT AD. THANK YOU! :D

for god sake, how much the Pulse paid Gamespot !!

Its not very random if you are only playing it on the back of the announcement of the new thief?

uhh.. is Danny talking about Barney at 9:40??

For those of  you who think the best gaming was in the past, watch this. Not saying this game sucks, just shows you how far games have come.

YES DANNY! Thank you! I've been nagging for this game for ages!

This game scared the shit outta my trousers when I played it a long time ago.

I actually really like these videos. Good job at doing something right, Gamespot.

should have played thief 2. was a way better game

Danny, I've got one for you that may be hard to find, I cant seem to find it anywhere. Would you do a RE on Slave Zero?

For those that are maybe new to the series or haven't visited in a while, check out http://www.thief-thecircle.com/ for links to the fan made expansion (new campaign with new protagonist) and also the extremely satisfying but almost dead COSAS project.  Some of the single missions are fun too, but installation is not as straight forward.

YES!  Another one of my favorites of all time!
