Such a unique game that, to this day, has no spiritual successor!
As a kid, with little knowledge of English, I had no idea that a robbery had two parts: first, planning it, and second, executing it. I was laughing so hard when the security guard—during the gas station robbery, I think—walked around me, and I thought he was blind. Unfortunately, it was the game that was laughing at my innocent younger self. :D
We really need a game like that on GOG! I recently replayed a demo version I got from a magazine and had so much fun replaying the first few missions. It's so much fun discovering new valuables on each level, which makes the game highly replayable.
I owned the full version too, but I don't know what happened to it. Sadly, I never had the chance to finish the game either.
So, pretty please, dear GOG staff, bring Sting! to the platform! <3
I still have this game on CD, and I loved every heist. The feeling of getting around guards, making the perfect move, with the freedom of retracing what you did wrong, makes it one of the best tactical games ever done. It also had the open world mechanic to recruit accomplices, each with individual traits and looks. It's a shame this game has been kept in the shadows for so long.
A really interesting title that I haven't seen even attempted to be recreated in modern days. While the Comandos/Desperados brand of squad based stealth games enjoyed a bit of a renewed interest in recent years, the heist angle is still pretty much unique to this game. Each job is a sort of it's own puzzle that you can mostly approach from different angles and I remember me and dad scratching our heads on some of those maps trying to maximize our loot. And it had this unique 40's vibe with what can only call some electripunk easthetics? It's definitely a gem, and one that would certainly enjoy some polishing up in terms of making it run on modern systems, as I had spend a lot of time hunting fixes online to make my CD version even start up properly.
Surprised it's STILL not on GOG! Amazing and very unique game that I had a chance to first play as a demo on one of my game disks and then managed to snag a game disk myself and it was a great experience. Plan a perfect heist and don't get caught. So fun watching how it all unravels when you see it on the timeline and actually see if you got caught
This is one of my favorite games from my childhood. It always brings back nostalgia and pleasant memories. The first time I played it was in the demo version, after which I asked my father to buy it during a business trip for my birthday (I lived in a small town where there were no CD stores). The gameplay did not seem easy to me - the game manual did not reveal all the nuances of the gameplay mechanics, and I had to do a lot at random, after numerous mistakes. I often quit the game at some difficult moments for me (I was 12-13 years old). The Mausoleum, Bank, and Power Plant missions were especially difficult. I just love the music from this game - it is truly beautiful! Unfortunately, the developers cut out a lot of content when creating the game - NPCs, loot elements, and even an entire location. For example, they removed the Jewelry Store near the Hotel - only the park remained there - although this oriental-style building remained in trailers and on CD packages in many countries. This is very sad. I even heard that some players managed to get and play the demo version with this deleted location, but I didn't :(
Of course, I would like to see the game re-released, it has been undeservedly forgotten by many and it would be nice if it were available again. It would be even better if we could find some materials on the game containing the content deleted at release, but this is, of course, a difficult task - the developer and publisher have long since ceased to exist (although there are their heirs who, it seems, have the rights).
This game has its own indescribable charm and atmosphere and I would not like it to disappear from the memory of players.
It would be so great to see this game at GOG, German version. I had played this game so looong. There is no better thief / burglar simulation. In 2024 I had a business phone call and had to wait on hold. In the queue the music from the game was playing and I wanted to play the game immediately. Matt Tucker where are you...
I had so good memories of this game playing with my younger brother. We never got the full game, we used to play the demo over and over just optimizing the runs. Was such a blast!
Obowiązkowy klasyk, który powinien być w sklepie GOG. Napady, szukanie wspólników w otwartym świecie, polski dubbing - coś pięknego. Moja ulubiona gra dzieciństwa.
Please make remaster or GOG version... <3 I was a kid and playing with my neighbour it was epic. It would be so great to see this game at GOG. Please make it for us ;)
For me, it's a timeless classic. It's a shame that there is no successor for this game, because it was such a unique experience, that to this day, there's nothing like this. And also it had official Hungarian dub, which made me fall in love with it even more as a kid.
The game made you pre-plan, and expected you to think of better ways to do something when you made a mistake.
For example: sometimes, a good that you have to steal is periodically checked by a person, and if they find out before you leave the place, you will fail. this forces you to think.
This also applies to doors, and other stuff.
And lastly, the sound. Every equipment you have on you has a threshold, some are quieter, and some are louder, which forces you to be careful when you use it.
I could go on all day, but there's so many things in this game, I don't think it would fit the 2000ch limit.
This game, though it has MANY bugs, is FANTASTIC.
It's a shame it doesn't have digital releases anywhere, even physicals are scarse. That's why I want it on GOG.
