It’s a Steal!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/thief_gold]THIEF™ GOLD is the definitive version of Thief: The Dark Project, the first game that introduced sound and light (or silence and shadows) as stealth gameplay mechanics, so there is no way you can sneak past this gem on GOG.com for just $9.99.

Garrett, the main protagonist in Thief trilogy, is one of the gaming’s most appealing hidden anti-heroes. Sure, he’s a thief (and a killer!), but he makes it up with sarcasm, intelligence, and rougish appeal. Thief’s surprisingly elaborate storyline throws Garret between a rock and a hard place where he needs to restore the political and magical balance of the city by using silence, stealth, and thievish skills as a weapon. The chaotic Pagans and technological Hammerites are preparing to tear the city apart in their battles with each other, and it seems that only a little judicious theft can keep these titani forces from clashing. No matter who's the employer and who's the victim, he plans to stay neutral and is always upholding his beliefs with a simple key principle: always get the loot.

In THIEF™ GOLD, you have a wide range of equipment at your disposal: a blackjack, a sword, lockpicks, holy water, explosive mines, flash bombs, and seven types of arrows to assist you on 12 treacherous missions in a steampunk-medieval metropolis called the City. The game’s FPS mechanics are a big change from then-traditional DOOMlike “shoot and run” to the unthinkable "it's quite amazing how much fun it can be to avoid action". The game received much critical acclaim (92! Metascore), with reviews ranging from “immersive gaming experience”, through “bloody good”, to the quite expected “my favorite game of all time”.

You don’t have to get your hands dirty to get THIEF™ GOLD from GOG.com’s secret stash for $9.99.
Only heard good things about this one! Wishlisted for now.
Awesome! I knew they would bring it the minute Deus Ex/Square Enix was announced.

How well does it play on Win7 64-bit? I bought the a physical version of Thief Gold and began playing a while from megastore and it seemed to work fine after some fiddling with dual core and widescreen issues. :)

mistermumbles: Nicolas Cage, is that you? The cover picture definitely has a passing resemblance.
Once seen ...


DAMN YOU!
Already got the original Thief (and 2 and 3), so I'll probably pass on this, but it's superb news and a step in the right direction for System Shock 1 and 2 (seeing as it's from Looking Glass Studios!)
OMG y'all gonna take all my money :(
a bit of old news, but for those newly playing Thief for the first time, you will likely enjoy this ;)

Has anyone tried it on win 7 64 -
After I bought Disciples 2 gold - for second time - first on Steam and 2 days ago on GOG and it did not work on my computer I am a little bit wary.
Otherwise this would be an instant buy - even on this price ( I have Thief 1 and 2 on disks - but no matter what I did I could not get them running properly - and I am getting old and lazy to spend a night trying to get a game working)

Next stops System Shocks, please :)

When it comes to the old style of ultra-punishing stealth games, you can't get much better than this one. I may have to pick it up at some point, as I seem to have misplaced my disk for this game.
One of the best games of all time.

It's still there for me. I noticed that the little boxes to display the advertised picture is missing from your screenshot. Are you running Noscript?

Edit: Nevermind, apparently they fade away after a couple seconds. Anyway, it is there.

Flyingmonkey59: OH MY GOD!!!! My favorite game, maybe ever. This one is the most atmospheric, immersive and genuinely scary game I think I've ever played. This, right here is why GOG kicks sooooo much butt!!! I was heartbroken when it was revealed that it was nigh impossible to get the original game to run on original multicore processors, I had kept my disk safe for years hoping to one day be able to bust it out again! Thank you so much for this!
Totally agree (well, it isn't my favourite game, but it comes pretty close).

The only release I would enjoy more is Ultima 8.

It's simply an old frontpage (cached?), notice the missing news entries.

olanorig: Should include DomEd.
Does include DromEd.
