Don't know where to Start. One of the first 3D stealth games, amazing story, played it a million times... A core memory for me. I first played it on a demo CD (pretty common for it's time) and fell in love. I played the demo over and over until I finally got the full version. The second mission really freaked me out as a child with the friggin scary zombies.
If you're simply looking for the first Thief game, it's on GOG under the title Thief Gold. I'm assuming this entry is specifically for the original Thief: The Dark Project, without the changes Thief Gold made. 'Vanilla' Thief had 300+ votes on the old Wishlist. There's a mod called GoldToDark that converts a Thief Gold installation to revert the changes back to TDP.
Those games also need your vote!
