We’re really sorry for the inconvenience, but please would you disable your ad-blocker? Our adverts are relevant and non-intrusive, they appear only at the top and the sides, never in the content. They don’t include auto-playing audio either, they really won’t spoil your enjoyment of the site. Thank you in advance!
Want to see this appeal go away forever? Support us on Patreon and we’ll make that happen! Click the button on the left to find out more.
’I’m not running an ad-blocker!’ -Refresh/reload the page, if you still see the panda or have other problems then click here to contact us immediately, thanks.
’Why are you doing this?’ - Frankly we’re struggling to make ends meet here especially since the site got more popular. The only way we can think to cover our costs is to run ads, but if so many of you keep blocking them...
’But I never click ads!’ - Doesn’t matter, you should only click them if they interest you. We get paid based on the number of views AND the number of clicks.
’You ruined the site!!!1! I want to send you hate mail!!’ - Sure, click here.
Another fact - We have the software and the power to completely block adblock users from our site, but we’re not going to, at least for now. We figure most of you would like to support us and you only installed Adblock because of other sites that aren’t so considerate with their ad placement. Please, don’t punish us because of them, in the seven or so years I’ve been a blogger/webmaster I’ve ALWAYS considered the need to balance monetisation with reader experience. I want to build an audience not send them away.
So go on, whitelist us and any other site you love. If it wasn’t for ads, the internet would lose a whole chunk of really great niche content like this, which would be a real shame in our opinion.
Now, go ahead and read the page if you want to, but wouldn’t it be much more convenient if you just whitelisted us? :)Genre: Survival HorrorRelease Year: 2002Developer: Computer ArtworksPublisher: Black Label GamesAge Rating: 15+Playability Status: PerfectTested On: Windows 8 x64Availability: Copyright retained - Out of print/unavailable
Ever notice how some of the best sci-fi horror movies have the least imaginative titles? John Carpenter’s highly regarded movie “The Thing” certainly doesn’t buck this trend. If you hadn’t already guessed, the thing that appears in the titular film and game isn’t in any way pink, fluffy or cute, but rather a grotesque blob of parasitic alien killing machine that can posses you or your fellow team members. The game takes place after the events of the cult movie. You will lead a team into what remains of the base to investigate what happened to the original crew. As well as dealing with the alien, you’ll also have to contend with fear and paranoia amongst your fellow soldiers.Installation
The game should install without any issues on a modern PC. Simply insert the DVD into your computers optical drive and follow the on-screen prompts. If the games installer does not start automatically, simply browse to the DVD in Computer/This PC and run the “Setup.exe” program manually.Patching
Before you start playing the game, we recommend installing the latest patch. Patch 1.2 adds a very handy mouse-look mode, which makes the game play more like a modern PC game. Patching the game can be a little confusing as you need the correct patch for your region of the game, so follow the instructions below carefully.
For the US version of the game, you need two patches, patch 1.1 and patch 1.2. Patch 1.1 can be downloaded here, while patch 1.2 can be downloaded here.
For European versions of the game (excluding the German version) you only require this patch, as the game is pre-patched to version 1.1 already.
The patches will download as zip files. To install the patches, simply run the executable files from inside the zip folders once downloaded, then follow the on-screen prompts. If you accidentally try to apply the wrong patch, the patching programs will warn you, so pay attention to any error messages you see.Running the game
In order to run The Thing on modern versions of Windows, all that is required is to set the game to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2). If you don’t change this setting, the games video cut-scenes and intro may not work and the game may crash back to the desktop. Simply find the shortcut to the game on your Start menu or Start screen and apply the compatibility mode. If you’re unfamiliar with configuring compatibility options, see this link. After changing this setting, Windows may unfortunately insist on running the game in Administrator mode each time.Tweaking visual quality
Unlike most PC games, The Thing has almost no user-configurable graphics settings. The only two settings that can be configured are “Resolution” and “Colour Depth”. To access these options, start the game and from the main menu, go to “Options” and then “Audio/Video”. Resolution should be set as high as your monitor will allow. If you installed the latest patch, the game should support widescreen screen modes just fine. Colour depth should always be set to 32 on a modern PC.
Gamers who have Nvidia or AMD graphics cards can squeeze a little more visual quality from the game by using their graphics cards control panel to force antialiasing on for the game. Consult your graphics cards user manual for more details of how to do this. On our Nvidia based rig, we used the NVIDIA control panel and under “Manage 3D settings” we added The Thing as a custom program. We then set “Antialiasing – Mode” to “Override any application setting” and “Antialiasing – Setting” to “32x CSAA”. This significantly improved the visual quality of the edges of objects in the game.Configuring controls
We strongly recommend using keyboard and mouse for the game. The game does not natively support joypads and there are a number of keyboard commands you will need to learn in order to manage your squad. Remember if you want to use mouse-look mode you need to enable it from the Options menu under “Advanced Controls”.Other notes
The popular gaming utility XFire supports The Thing, allowing you to take videos and screenshots and chat to your friends while you play.TroubleshootingThe Thing Game For Macbook
Problems saving games and configurations – Like many old titles, The Thing saves its game data into the same folder as the game itself. In some instances on more modern versions of Windows, this will mean that save games and configuration files cannot be written. To solve this problem you can either run the game as administrator (right click on the games icon and choose “Run as administrator”) or, better still, set the permissions on your game folder so that your user account has full control/read write permissions. You can find a tutorial on how to configure folder permissions here. The games default installation directory is “C:Program Files (x86)Computer ArtworksThe Thing”. The actual save game files are stored in the “bin” sub directory and are named “slot1.sav”, “slot2.sav” etc. Remember the game doesn’t save your progress automatically, you must get to a tape recorder in order to save.Screenshots
