Games where you are a thief
« on: September 05, 2010, 07:19:02 am »

I am looking for games where you are a thief and bonus points if you plan out the heist. I remember The Sting 2 and Heist(can't get it to run). Any others?

Elder Scrolls series? Heck, every time I start a new game of Morrowind, I go to Pelagiad, snatch everything I can from the trader, go across the street to the other trader to sell it, rob that guy, and go back across the street to the first merchant and sell the stuff.

I hope the next TES makes thieving even better, it's so much fun to steal keys by day and just walk into shops by night.

Thief 2 in particular. God that game kicked arse. I think I still have my copy somewhere.

In Ultima 6 and 7, you're a serial kleptomaniac, able to rob commoners of the most useless things and even rob donation boxes.

Though the height of a real heist you can pull off is robbing a store or bank in U7. Not sure about U6.

On a more serious note - The Art of Theft. Thievery in 2D platforming glory.

The publishers of The Sting made another game... forgot its name. Get it, it's buggy but very good.

Oh, and this:
http://www.herocraft.com/en/games/stolen_in_60_sec/

That game is IMO, better than most of the PC ones, but probably my favorite. It skips all the annoying storyline stuff and gets down to the point where you buy stuff, make a plan, and implement it. Very cheap, and well worth it, since you can play while in the bus and stuff.

Wow this site got some really good looking games for mobile. Like that Civ clone or MOO clone and game you mentioned. Too bad these will never run on my ancient nokia  :'(.

FPL, that cracked me up. Great games but man asked for planning not just stealing or rather sneaking.

They ran on my old mobile. Bought the civ clone too... it doesn't compete with PC ones, but it's very good for a mobile phone strategy game.

Nope they won't run I checked with their list of compatible phones. Mine is 10 years old so no surprise here.

Yeah, The Clue! is that game that was made before The Sting! I liked both, in different ways.
