StingingVelvet: For whatever reason Thief Gold is a lot more expensive on ebay. Complete big-box copies go for as much as $400!!!! In contrast a big-box copy of The Dark Project can be had for as little as $40.

My copy of Thief is just a jewel case, sadly. It's one of the top games on my collection list to buy when I can.

Cyrus112: I saw the site GamersGate, but I know next to nothing about it, so I didn't want to try buying it from them if they were untrustworthy. If there are some ringing endorsements out there, I may try, but otherwise, I'll just pester the fine people here at gog otherwise :-)

Thanks for the tips, too.

Cyrus112: Are any of you at all familiar with the site abandonia.com? Seems somewhat shady to me, so I figured I'd ask you fine folks, first. I'm trying to track down a copy of EcoQuest II: Lost Secret of the Rainforest. Fun adventure game from the early 90s.

lowyhong: Cool thanks. I'll source for a copy on eBay. I love the Thief series to death.

MaridAudran: Out of the Thief: Gold only-missions, one is excellent ("Song of Caverns"), one abysmal, ("The Mage Towers", think "Super Garrett Brothers" with all the ridiculous platforming), and one in-between ("Thieves' Guild"), which is a decent pure infiltration mission, of which most players thought there was a paucity of in the first Thief game before the rest of the plot missions focus on undead tombs and various monster-infested crawls.

You can actually download two of the Thief: Gold missions independently as "fan missions" to play in the T2 engine, specifically "Thieves' Guild" and "The Mage Towers," through your thief FM client-of-choice; I recall it used to be Darkloader for the longest time, I don't know what it is now.

It's a pity that nobody converted the best of the three Gold-only missions, "Song of Caverns," because that's the only one I think one really misses out on by playing The Dark Project. However, it's *not* worth purchasing the game over again if you already own TDP. As echoed here, there are some cosmetic changes to the existing levels and the plot is altered slightly to accommodate the new missions as they segue into the raison d'etre of Garrett. While most of the tweaks are unobtrusive or welcome (like in "The Sword", without spoiling too much), some others were decidedly ill-thought out. The changes in "The Lost City" rudely stand out in my mind as wholly unnecessary and actually detracting from the enigmatic, forgotten nature of the place.
