"Memories, like the corners of my minnnnnddd..."Cast your thoughts back to the GoldenAge of Ttlg and in particular to the ThiefGen forum, 2000! What was the burning topic of twenty years ago? Why, the much anticipated release of the beloved LGS title:"Thief 2: The Metal Age", of course!
"When will it be released"? "When will it be available in my country"? "What the hell are 'vine arrows'"? All these questions and more, graced the hallowed pages of the ThiefGen forum as excitement for TMA reached fever pitch!
So, grab a tankard of your favourite beverage, dim the lights and join me, your old pal Purgator, as we skip down the merry cobblestones of time and revisit those ThiefGen posts of yesteryear....

I've been known to re-read one particular thread every couple of years or so. It is "The Cradle ... Dear God" thread. So not adverse to a bit of nostalgia.

Given it's the 20th Anniversary, I thought it would be fun to see how Ttlg from 20 years ago was looking forward to the release of T2. It's a theme I'm going for.:)
I find the Archives here at Ttlg truly fascinating. These T2 anticipation threads are particularly wonderful!
It's a unique insight into this 'ragtag' group we call a community. Past members have played a very important role in keeping these LGS titles alive, well past their heyday, and it's something I'm very grateful for. I've met some incredible people here at TTlg, and have had the privilege of contributing my own humble work to their various fan missions, projects and enhancement packs over the years.
Edmund Burke once wrote “society is but a contract between the dead, the living and those yet to be born.”
Our Ttlg community is indeed
still comprised of those who have departed, the present crop of absolute nutters and those yet to join (looking at you, lurkers)!
What better time to pledge your troth to Ttlg and become a fully fledged community member!
I will be posting other T2 related media here. If you have found any interesting previews/reviews from 20 years ago in relation to the game feel free to post, be they in Russian, Polish or any other language.
How about this one from 'Lads Mag'/Gaming Magazine, PC Accelerator?

Great thread, Purgator :thumb: Jogged a lot of memories from 20 years ago, and how anxious I was to finally play Thief 2. Perused through some of the threads you linked in the first post, also - a lot of classic TTLG'ers who I hope still lurk these forums from time to time.

This is awesome, Purgator! Thanks for doing this, it's a great idea. Love reading the old threads, and all the nostalgia.
