  1. Good point. Half Life was released in the same year as the first Thief game, although I don't know which came first. There must have been some pressure to include stealth as a gameplay element. Not a lot of stealth gameplay in 1st person games comes to mind before that year. The first was likely the original System Shock and *maybe* Strife or Heretic/Hexen after that. Most of them were hybrid RPGs as well.

    Well, the Blake Stone games, which used the Wolfenstein 3D engine, came out around 1993 and focused somewhat on stealth, considering you had a silenced weapon and could sneak up on guards, but I don't think there ever was any pressure about it. And I think Metal Gear Solid came out around that time too, but that wasn't a first person game.

  2. Unreal. My dad and I picked it up in the local store 12-13 years ago. Dirt cheap and we had no idea what it was (This was before I was an internet goer). Have never made a more successful gamble since.

    I can imagine. That game, for the time, fits the title.

  3. Ross is back!!! I didn't really like episodes between like 25-30, and was worried about the future quality of series, but this episode was exactly how I like Ross. Sarcasm (Yeah I get the idea, don't worry about me :-D ), mentioning and reacting on things that nobody really notice in the game (like bar cage door and the hint about a gimp in it :-D ) (reminds me "scheduled chaos theory? That makes such sense like grounded aviation! Or deep sea astronomy.. :-D ), doing crazy stuff like jumping back and forward with the modul (what's this do? jeeeeeeah.. That was awesome! Let's do this again! AGAIN! Ah, no, better not. I could do this all day... :-D ) great voice acting etc.. I have been really missing these atributes in your lasts episodes, although I know that there was not so much thigs to comment in this way. So I'm happy you still got it man, thank you for the greatest episode for about a freaking year. :-D

    Please don't create new topics for something you can just post inside this topic. Thank you.
