| Thief: The Dark Project | |||||
|
Download the version for your operating system
here:
|
||||
| Description: | Rather than delivering yet another game with a rocket launcher, Thief asks you to play a thief in a quasi-medieval milieu. And instead of reducing your opponents to so much gibbage, your task is to hide in the shadows, to sneak around great mansions and ancient ruins to finish your quests. I know -- it doesn't sound very exciting, but it actually provides far more heart-pounding excitement than many other recent FPS games. | ||||
| Requirements: | Demo, Pentium 166 (with 3D accelerator), 32MB RAM, DirectX 6 | ||||
| Install instructions: | Download it to your local drive, then unzip it and run the EXE file. | ||||
