It's funny how this 8 bit colour depth version looks a lot better, a lot more life-like than the crappy 24bit colour depth version which has the yellow pavement and purple streets... it was the same in the PS1 version...
dang them some bad graphics lmao but i bet it would be straight to play tho i'm sure it was amazing in its time period i checking out the progress of gta
i remember this game..my friend came over excited saying "hey i got this game,its something like youve never played.you can go anywhere you want and steal cars and shoot people" i was like "ok cool"
after that we played it for 6 hours straight and it was one of the best experiences in gaming history for me..such a awesome start for the series and even better games after it
I actually enjoyed the demo of this game more than the actual game, because of the time limit.The most fun was trying to complete as many missions as possible before the time limit ran out. It increased the excitement dramatically when you have to do everything as fast as possible. I became so good at the game, in the end I could finish almost all the missions. When I got the actual game, it not nearly as exciting anymore because you could just leisurely explore everything and take it real slow.
Yes but since I helped you learn something you should've learned when you were five it may end up helping you in an english test. Also, thanks for the spare ip address.
This, Carmgeddon, C&C Red Alert and Doom II are what got me into gaming. The original GTA is right up there on my favourite games list. Even the game sounds are nostalgic
Strange how when this game came out everybody thought it was great, now eveyone thinks it sucks. I personally have never played it (I have played Gta2 though) but i think it looks like a great game and would love to play it someday.
Actually, they already have. Dementium: The Ward and Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword come to mind, but yeah, there are very few. I really don't see why we can't have a GTA DS. We'll just have to see if Rockstar ever decides to make one. I'd love that!
This was a really great game,in fact it still is.Loved the way you could edit the maps (in a text file) and also you could play the game via the com-port between two computers with a friend.Those who havent played it in its time, have missed a huge experience since this game was a totally new experience (everything is so "alike" nowadays). one great thing about this game is that the cars follow their path, even when they are far out of sight. in GTA3 they just dissapear and get replaced.
I don't get why ppl don't like overhead view. Its my preferred way to play and i hate the fact that its not in VC or SA. Why the fuck couldn't they put it in as an option that u can turn on for those of us who do want it!?
If I remember well, there should be mafia in GTA1. In fact first 2 levels of GTA1 are in Liberty City (lvl 3 and 4 are in VIce City and nothing hard to guess - 5 and 6 in San Andreas).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i did like 1 and 2 but after i played GTA 3, VC, and San Andreas i realized how fucking hard it is to control your mother fucking vehicle, fuck shit mother fucker
I really hate it when little kids come on here without even knowing about the past. GTA was groundbreaking, this was the first game that had complete freedom in a huge city.
@darkwhitty Your post is as old as my first days on YT lol, but yeah, I'm fed up with childish comments like them slagging off the graphics on GTA 3, Medal of Honor Frontline etc. That is so playground and irritating.
I liked 3, you could see a little more, I didn't like the birds eye view. Lol, I also don't like the point system, but hey, gta 3, gta VC and gta SA made up for it ;) (especially gta SA)
i can understand the thought of it being a gba game cause it does look a lot like games comming out on the gba rendering wise but NES graphics? you know someone is young when they find better than NES graphics = nes graphics - to me even the NES had awesome hand drawn graphics... you know 3d graphics are new right?
I feel agrivated when people say "GTA with NES graphics" and "is this gameboy color version?" morons... This game was on PS1 and the PC, it dosn't have NES/GBC grphics.
no this one was "gouranga" the 2nd one was "Elvis has left the building"...so much memeries,every time I find a couple of elvisses I was like "...WOOO"! XD and soprry for for the late,year,reply :S
No, it's the 8-bit MS-DOS version. There also was a 32-bit version with truecolor and transparency, but it was too slow while recording the video. The Game Boy Color version was even simpler instead :)
