Thief is probably the only reason I still have for getting access to a Windows machine. The CDs are just languishing away on my bookshelf. IIRC, I was last somewhere after attempting to rescue Cutty from prison...maybe one level after that. So, plenty to go before I move on to Thief 2 or 3.
It is one of only two games that have startled me out of my seat...I forget the name of the other, but it was a mid-90s game where you're stuck wandering around a spooky empty house with pseudo-Cthuloid monsters around certain corners. Similar negative-space, negative-time feel -- not what you do, but what you are waiting to have happen.
