It's amazing how over 2 decades have passed already and Taffers of old and many new ones joining the hype, it's more than just a game as we know it, it's a community, the life and times of real people who share a love for this iconic phenomenon. Thank you Mike for sharing these precious moments with us.

Hi everyone,
This is Mike Chrzanowski and I'm a former level designer from Looking Glass Studios. I worked on Thief Gold, Thief II, and the unreleased Thief II Gold. I finished the Mage Tower level in T1G and built Shipping and Receiving, and Blackmail levels in T2. 21 years ago today was a sad day for many of us at Looking Glass as the studio had to close due to lack of funding. Throughout my time at Looking Glass I took many pictures and also the Final Days video that's been around for 10 years or so. For this year's anniversary I decided to go through all my old digital photos from 1999 and 2000 to pull out everything Looking Glass related. I have some great pics from picnics and parties. There are also a few screenshots from an unfinished T2G level. I even found my design document. Here are the links to the photos. I'll post the documents soon. Thanks for sticking by us all these years.

Hey Mike!
Thank you so much for sharing this stuff.
I remember the very first time and place I played Shipping and Receiving - blew me away.
Looking forward to seeing you around.

Wow just saw this, major nostalgia trip. Oddly enough, my son is replaying thief2 atm and is up to Shipping level, last night we were discussing how it such an iconic game level.

Yeah, when those horns come in heavy and then fade back out. Chills.
