Trilby - The Art of Theft - Time Waster

If you don't like wasting time, stay away from Trilby - The Art of Theft, because it's going to eat at least eat up a day or two. It's the prequel to the highly acclaimed 5 Days a Stranger and is at least as time consuming.

You take on the role of a stylish British robber that goes by the name of Trilby, playing on new turf in America. As you begin your missions to rob people blind in this stealth/platform game, you will quickly learn that timing and patience are some of your most important assets. Each mission has a limit as to how often you are allowed to be detected before you fail. Dodge the cameras and guards with skill, and you will quickly see your reputation rise which you can then use to "purchase" new skills to add to your sneaky repertoire.

The game doesn't have an installer - you just unzip the file and execute the game. Also, once you're hooked and starting to time yourself to see how fast you can complete missions, check out these YouTube videos of people posting their fastest playtimes for different levels.

In a nutshell, Trilby is a well executed time-waster game that features a good story, great gameplay, and gives you a graphic experience that induces a nostalgic feeling of playing something that came out during the DOS era. But be warned, it is very, very addictive.
