    • Trivia
      The three cities featured in the game are Liberty City (based on New York City), San Andreas (based on San Francisco) and Vice City (based on Miami). From Grand Theft Auto III (2001) onwards, each game was set in a redesigned version of one of these cities (though San Andreas was expanded into a state with three cities separated by countryside).

    Lets be honest. (I'm not on the nostalgia train). This game was hash.
    Grand Theft Auto 1. Where it all began. How this piece of hash became GTA 5 is beyond me.

    GTA 1997 was a boring, 1 minute game. After you played this "app game" for 1 minute that was it. All you did was drive and run pixels over. Ok...

    The camera angle was a joke. The ant motion was hilarious.

    GTA 1997 was hash. Fortunately, though, GTA 4/5 came out of it. Like the saying "1st you don't succeed, try again".

    FAQ2

    • I'm confused as to the order of the GTA games. Which game comes first and which comes last?
    • What are the differences between the European PSX Version and the Original Version?
