Jabbrwokk's Journal: Gone retro

I've been having piles of fun replaying Thief Gold. The graphics were a bit off-putting at first, but the gameplay quickly drew me back in. The story is great and playing it on expert is the only way to go. Thanks to the author of DarkLoader for making it painless and simple to run Thief in Windows XP. I'm still impressed at the mission design. There are moments of sheer terror when you inadvertently attract a guard's attention by a footstep on a tile floor. The conversations between guards you can overhear are hilarious. Even the ugly old graphics have a quaint appeal, particularly the interior carpet and wallpaper textures. Still lots of fun, all these years later.
