"Infiltrate and explore over 20 mission areas" - how should I understand this?
I would guess either they thought they would finish 20 complete missions for release, OR they are just counting multiple areas per mission such as the mines and the factory in Cragscleft.

but wtf is that text that spells thief? i never seen it before,its interesting,kinda a hammer themed style
That was an early font they used before release. Personally I like it better than the final one because it looks like stained glass.

I believe the 3 new TG missions were supposed to be part of TDP. Also, remember Life of the Party was originally done for TDP. If I am remembering right, there was pressure to get TDP out so I assume that is why these missions never made the first cut.

There were a couple of unfinished areas that were released with that batch of T2 Gold files as well, IIRC. Couldn't tell you where to find them though.

This demo disc (the software rendered version) was a lifetime memory for me. It was August 11th, 1999, and there was a full solar eclipse in my country (among others). I was 12 years old. After seeing the solar eclipse by a lake as an ending scene of a holiday with distant relatives, I went home to my family to realize that I got my first ever PC from them with a couple of cds as well. Among them there was some game magazin CD with this Thief pre-release.
Looking back, it was love at first sight. The whole thief atmosphere, the ambients quickly made a special place in my heart for themselves - and nearly 20 years later, when someone asks me about the definition of peace, I describe something like "everythings's all right, family is healthy, there's cold out there and I'm playing some good Thief fan mission with quality audio and EAX". I think it's something for a lifetime for true fans! :)

nexus letum made a video about the i think 3 unfinished mission one was some kind of a school but still not sure there would have been 20 even with all we know combined
i also noticed from some of the screen shots at the top post ,i don't recognize some of those maps,wonder if any of them were part of the unreleased missions

That two-headed monster is interesting. I always that empty room seemed a little odd, but I guess it was originally intended to be his lair. Although the dead ends and empty rooms you sometimes find in Thief are part of what gives it its sense of mystery.
