I even bought Rockstar Ping Pong at launch. Early 360 days were weird. I had a Core 360 and I bought a hard drive off the guy who worked at my local EB Games, but not from EB Games.

I've never liked top-down driving games, so even though I was aware of GTA back when the first one came out, I didn't pay attention to the franchise until GTA III.

GTA Liberty City Stories on PSP

Early 360 days were weird.

I'll never forget those weird 360 games you could only buy at Burger King.
Very creepy stuff.

Yeah GTA 1 on PS One. Never clocked it or anything, pretty sure that was impossible... but it was my first "free roaming" experience and loved it. GTA III on PC was amazing, although it ran like dogshit on my family computer. Than I played Vice City on the OG Xbox and was my all time fav GTA.

 

[dottme]

Ok guy, I think we are too old. Nearly 50%on the first GTA!!!

 

[JayK47]

GTA3 on the PS2. I must have played it 10 times or so between the PS2 and PC and now with the remaster on Xbox.

 

[ByWatterson]

This board is old as hell lol

 

[DryvBy]

GTA 1 on PC but I didn't play it long because my parents got hung up on it being M. So I played 2, which is the only T rated GTA lol. My dad and cousin played it with me over LAN. I had to wait on 3 since it was a PS2 launch game and I didn't want or have a PS2. U didn't beat it but I must have put 60 hours in with my brother just driving around and making up our own story.

 

[Boo Who?]

GTA1 on PC.

 

[Trilobit]

GTA 1 on PS One.

I remember as a kid not liking games where you killed humans, but a friend had it for his PS1 so I wanted to try just driving a car. When he came back I had accidentally ran over a bunch of pedestrians and had cops after me and I felt like a psycho caught redhanded.

 

[ReBurn]

I played the first GTA, but GTA 3 was my first love.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Started with III. Played it at a friends house and I was hooked.

 

[uncreativename]

My first one was 3 at a friend's house, but the first one I ever really got into (and still the only one I've ever finished) is 4. Great game

 

[MiguelItUp]

GTA1, played the PC demo on one of those discs that came with a magazine. I don't think it was PC Gamer though.

Man, such awesome times, lol.

 

[HRK69]

GTA 1

Man, remember when the original GTA came with that awesome soundtrack CD?

My nephew once asked my parents if he could borrow the game. I really wasn't trying to let him have it, so I pulled a fast one and just gave him the music CD instead looool

 

[German Shocks]

Uncles are supposed to be cool, man.

 

[GladiusFrog]

GTA 1 on the original PlayStation, Plus the GTA London 1969 expansion pack disc.

Never would have imagined back in 1999 how much a cultural phenomenon the franchise would evolve into.

 

[GladiusFrog]

It was GTA2 on PS1 or PC i don't remember.

This track is so damn good.

 

[drotahorror]

GTA 1 or 2 on PC. Can't remember, went with 1.

 

[RavageX]

I'm pretty sure it was GTA 1 or 2. I never could get used to the top down view. What I remember most was a mission where I believe I was supposed to pick up a girl/wife and I had to hurry. I couldn't find her right away, turned a corner quick and ran over people including her. I then got a beeper message that someone wasn't happy with me and id better be on the lookout.... something to that effect.

But I bought GTA 3 at random. It has just come out and I knew nothing about it really, the gameplay images on the back of the case looked interesting if I recall right. Took it home and was hooked. If they followed age laws back then, I wouldn't have been able to buy it lol.

After Vice City and San Andreas though, my interest has become less and less. Not interested in 6 until it's on sale and on PC I think.

 

[kevboard]

I had all the PS1 GTA ports, including London. but the first one I had was GTA2 on PC. I got the PS1 port of 2, and the port of 1 and London a few years after.

 

[xrnzaaas]

GTA1 on PS1. First the demo from the PlayStation magazine, then the full game.

 

[Mengy]

I'm another GTA2 on the PC as well.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I'm pretty sure I started with the first one and then GTA 2 soon after. I do remember playing London too. Never beat any of them but had fun driving around and using cheat codes. Vice City was already released when I got PS2 so it was my first next-gen GTA. I got 3 some time after but it didn't impress me much after VC. I have started to appreciate it more in recent years.

The first, a friend showed it to me on PC and I had a great time with quite a decent sink of hours. Wasn't until the third that I thought it was anything special though.

 

[Kuranghi]

GTA 1 but GTA 2 is the one I played a shit ton of. The graphics upgrade over 1 was so mind blowing to me, running it at HD resolutions and remarking how sharp it was and how good the explosions looked.

I also really liked the ultra grim tone, picking up civilians in a bus and them taking them to be stripped naked and meat grinderered, wtf lol.

Can you imagine portraying that with modern graphics and close up perspective, something like the new Hellraiser game or ILL has it but even then theres some level of censoring so its not classed as pornographic.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Damn people are legit old here. Gta3 was around my time but my first was Vice City when we could afford a computer back then.

Ok not that old. Gta1 was in 1997. I could have played it easily.

 

[dragonyeuw]

GTA3 on PS2, followed by a bit of Vice City on OG Xbox, and haven't played the series since.
