I think I was one of the few to love GTA2, Its desapointing when people think GTA3 was the first one and they don't know the story behind GTA.

 

[Jintor]

Although how they can think GTA 3 was the first is beyond me...

Still have my hardcopy of the first one.

I downloaded this a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get my joypad to work even though I configured it in the options, so I uninstalled...

GTA 1&2 were just too difficult,. driving in top-down view doesnt work well.

We've got just over a week before San Andreas comes to the PC. w00t!

The first 2 GTA's were more fun and EXCELLENT in LAN!!

However, and this is a big however, the first GTA is unplayable on powerful machines upwards of ~1GHz.

This is because of the way the game engine was programmed (I don't know the technical in's and out's). The faster your machine, the faster the game will run, and the framerate limiter doesnt work effectively.

There are applications available which will slow down your processing power, hence "emulating" older machines, but it will not hold a consistent speed in-game... ;(
