December 1st, 1998 - Thief: The Dark Project was released in North America. A monumental achievement from gameplay and storytelling perspective, it gave birth to a stealth genre as we know today.
No, Metal Gear Solid doesn't count, it's not a pure stealth game.
The atmosphere, the music, the cutscenes, Garret's voice, all combined into gaming perfection. Some say Thief 2 was the pinnacle of the genre - as someone playing videogames for 30 years IMO no game (Bioshock, Dishonored, Prey) managed to reach the heights of Thief 1 & 2.

In the attic, in Eastern Poland there still lie two boxes of original releases of Thief 1 & 2...
