Rock, Paper, Shotgun notes yesterday marks 15 years since
Thief: The Dark
Project shipped (thanks nin), which checks with the
Wikipedia,
but I think I'll trust
our archive from that time that it was actually 15 years ago today, which
was a Tuesday. Either way, it's been that long since the release of the stealth
classic. In other gaming history, it was
16 years ago today
that
QUAKE II went gold, and
14 years
ago today that
QUAKE III Arena went gold, a stark example of how much
quicker game development was back in the day. And it was
10 years ago today that
X²:
The Threat arrived in North American and Australian stores. Rounding out the
anniversaries, it was
nine years ago today
that Painkiller: Battle Out Of Hell shipped, kicking off that series.
