my TG disks disintegrated years ago and I can't re-install. I'm not so keen on the other versions.

and regularly goes on sale for like two or three bucks. and you get a standalone installer, with no drm or client app nonsense required*. it is prepatched with TFix Lite 1.26** (but has the olddark exe if you prefer that). honestly thr gog releases of thief gold and thief 2 are the simplest and most convenient ways to get and play thief these days, definitely worth picking up.
(*gog does have a client app that they push on their website, but it is completely optional)
(**voodoo47 was maintaining the patches for gog before. im not sure why it isnt yet prepatched with 1.27. so youll still need to patch it once for newer FMs)

All the time! There's nothing more satisfying then replaying a much loved FM and finding something new that you did not discover before!

I downloaded all of the missions from very beginning on my Windows 7 computer. When I upgraded to windows 10 I kept my Windows 7 on the same drive with all my downloaded missions. Windows 10 kept asking me to delete Windows 7. Last year I accidently deleted my windows 7. I had to download all those missions again. I am working on my 3rd playthrough from the very beginning. Great fun. I never tire if Thief. Other game developers probably fear making missions as good as the Thief series because many people like me don't need to buy any other games to get some good game play. Yes, I have bought other games but I always end up going back to The Thief Series. Currently on my 3rd playthrough. I see there are some new missions that I haven't played yet so I have some catching up to do.

Disney (or some other Nintendo-tier abomination): He has a point -- let's make using the older software/movie/etc illegal!
