The high point of the series and arguably of stealth: dynamic light and shadow you read as terrain, a knife, and levels with several genuine routes through them, plus a co-op campaign built for two. Twenty years on it holds up completely. The PC release does not — running it on modern hardware routinely needs community patches, and even then it crashes for many players.
