What is your favorite retro stealth game and why?

Hi, I'm currently doing some preparations to do a a study on games inspired by Thief and I need some examples to work with.

So far I have Thief itself, the direct sequels to it, the Dishonored games, Gloomwood, Bioshock Infinite BaS:E2, Delightfyl, Heir Obscure and Neon Struct to work with. These might be plenty but it may prove a good idea to diversify it a bit.

In order to qualify, the games suggested need to fill some of these criteria:
>The game must be playable primarily in first person (this is mandatory, third person games without even the option for first person are excluded. Games like MGS2 may allow first person aiming but would still be excluded since playing most of the game in first person is not an option).
>The game should present stealth as preferable to open combat (though this may not necessarily be the case in practice, the point is that you should at least be lead to think stealth is the better option)
>The game should include some mechanics that resemble Thief's (i.e looting, lockpicking, light and shadow, gadgets, etc. Not all but at least enough to determine similarities)
>The game may but is not required to have a similar world, story or characters to Thief (like how Thief, Dishonered and BaS:E2 all feature a plot in which the player character is betrayed and left for dead once the employers got what they wanted).

It doesn't need to be a perfect match, you just need to be able to draw enough similarities to determine that Thief was the inspiration.

So I'm going through my first playthrough of the Gold Edition and I'm at the Thieves Guild mission and it keeps dragging on and on, I know that mission wasn't part of the original game so I was wondering if I will miss anything important storywise if I just skip it.

What old games do you consider being overrated or having aged poorly, /vr/?

And on that note there are better stealth games than MGS.

Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. I've yet to play a game with a thicker atmosphere.
