About This Game

Thief Gold is covered here as part of the October 1999 POCG news archive. This Vault entry is a restoration stub tied to period news coverage, preserving the release, demo, beta, promotion or development update as it was reported at the time. The story connects the game to the late-1999 PC and console release calendar, when demos, gold master announcements, retail shipments and online play events were moving fast enough to make your modem sweat. Further release details, platform notes and review context can be expanded during the full Vault restoration pass.
