I love every one of the Thief games. I never got to play Thief Gold though.
Has anyone here played it? Were the extra levels good?

Thief G as it was called is definitely worth playing. Some things are
different if I remember correctly when compared to TDP. From memory, two
of the three added levels now house some of the Talismans, leading to
certain areas in a level in the sunken city where there used to be
entrances being walled off. I didn't like the Mage's tower, don't think
I ever finished it without cheat, too weird. The other two are worth
playing though, but be prepared, all the added levels are very lenghty
first time around, and even when replaying.

Have fun.

I would love to play it, but I don't think my computer will. I have heard of
people getting external hard drives to play the old Thief games. Is that how
it works?

Barnabyh replies:

No idea, but if you were able to play the other Thief games why would
Thief Gold not run?

Have a look here:

Good luck.

this is a huge problem actually.  thief gold is the best of all of the 
games and i want to recommend it to other ppl because it's just SO 
amazingly good.  but i can't.  why?  because it's not worth the headache 
of making it work, and keeping it working!  i don't even play it anymore 
and i miss it soooo much!

it's too bad someone hasn't realized the potential of updating and 
repacking it like their did with tomb raider.  it's not the original, 
no, but insanely fun to play for nostalgia alone!
