_The_Nothing_ Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 it's got LMAO vice city in it lol it's got cycle's in it lol http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ In 1997, a band of developers that would come to be known as Rockstar North and Rockstar Games released the original Grand Theft Auto on an unsuspecting public. The groundbreaking non-linear urban crime game shook up a complacent game industry with its irreverent gameplay, humor and style- and a phenomenon was born. We are now offering this classic progenitor of the Rockstar Games lineage as the first in a recurring series of Rockstar PC game downloads, absolutely free of charge. It's a chance for new fans to experience the roots of Rockstar as well as our way of saying thank you to our long-time supporters feeling that pang of nostalgia.

me Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 iggy, what the hell is up with your avatar? Link to comment
trx Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 LOL, You guys just crack me up. Multiplayer for GTA1 was the greatest thrill a person could have on the computer at that time. (uh, on LAN that is) It's very nice to see RockStar has released it for free now. The only thing is, hardly anyone can play it anymore, for it runs like shait under WinXP or on a AMD Athlon XP. Maybe they included a fix of some kind? Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 yeah, apparently they made it run better under win32. Link to comment
-Roger- Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Multiplayer doesn't even work, I played it with a friend and on my side of the game I won, but on his side he won. We both even took screenshots of both the games and each one had different scores. Link to comment
ArtiGamer Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 lol gta-2 whit multiplayer is bether. I know hou 2 play it twards internet. Its cool playing whit 6 ppl and shooting at eitch other... Link to comment
Slothman Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 gta2 multipayer was laggy at best. gta1 ran fairly smooth. but i'm a little onesided, cause i just didnt like gta2 in general as much as the rest of em. still fun to play, just not as much Link to comment
xerox Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 hmm - i was waiting for one of those "this is old news" insult pics. oh well. Link to comment
trx Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I never liked GTA2 either, the cars were even worse than GTA1, and they responded real sluggish. Your player could run faster backwards then he could forward. And lots of other things. Never played it much. We stayed with GTA1, and I had many new graphics for the cars installed (some of them truly masterpieces, and are still looking very good) Take a look at: http://azz.gouranga.com/index.php?page=106 . Those are all the cars ever awarded "The One" status. Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 but the multiplayer of GTA where fun Link to comment
