The news item on c64.sk about this demo's release was posted on august 22nd, so we expect the actual release date to be on or very near that date.

In an article called The Dark Court written by The Dark Judge/Focus on c64.sk on october 16th, the production is reviewed: "Thief (75/100). At 29 blocks and 5 parts, this might byte for byte be one of the most valuable demos ever on the c64. Stylistically it's clearly influenced by the likes of Panoramic Design and Triad with lots of strange little animations in shades of green. Concept-wise it's a bit weak though, with only text supporting the revisited theme of categorisations from Clown. Still, the atmosphere is spot-on, and the creator (Puterman) can only be applauded for trying to do something different, and succeeding as well. Here's hoping he'll soon prove able to keep it up in a longer demo."
