Story:Grand Theft Auto is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series and a sandbox-crime game published by Rockstar Games.
The original Grand Theft Auto is made up of a series of levels each set in one of the three cities in the game. In each level, the player has a target number of points to achieve, and five lives to attain the score.
The score counter doubles as a money meter; the player can spend this money on paint jobs and various other things. However, any money spent is of course taken away from the score, making the goal that little bit further away.
On obtaining the target number of points, the player must then drive to a certain location to complete the level, which allows progress to the next one.Show more

All the GTA entries seem community-supported and there are ways to get them to run under Linux (any fellow Steam Deckers in here?)
All of them? No, sadly GTA I is a glaring omission, and it's a nightmare to get it to run under modern hardware, in this case Linux. I'm sure a Windows version that got some GOG Preservation program treatment would run pretty fine in a Proton environment too and even if not... Man I would love to own GTA I as a GOG release with all that peace of mind that comes with it!
The Very start of the game series that is considered a household name.
i can remember renting this on ps1 in the late 90's from a video store.
this was the very first game i played that let you explore complete urban freedom
just going on a crime spree in all 3 cites (Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas )
which laid the cursor for later installments in the series.
The game would be such an amazing fit for GOG.
The original Grand Theft Auto was unforgettable for pioneering the open-world genre, offering players unprecedented freedom in a top-down, satirical view of urban crime. Its simplistic yet addictive gameplay allowed for exploration and mischief and I recall playing this game with friends, passing the controller around, each of us trying to outdo the other in chaos. The fun was in the freedom to choose your path, whether it was completing missions or just causing havoc. The challenge was in the strategic navigation to avoid or outrun the police. This first entry in the franchise deserves preservation because it set the foundation for what open-world gaming would become. Having it DRM-Free on GOG would keep this piece of gaming history accessible, allowing new players to appreciate where modern classics began, and ensuring that the legacy of innovation and freedom in gaming can be appreciated without barriers.
I played it many years ago, but at that time I had downloaded it from some random website...
I think they should add it because, besides being a very good game and the first in the franchise, there is no other way to acquire it in a licensed form (both the first and second games)...
As a kid growing up in the 90s, this was one of the first video games I have played along with a few other that still fresh in my memory. GTA along Doom, System Shock, Diablo, Chrono Trigger, Baldur's Gate, Half Life , Golden Eye etc are the games I spent most time with in the 90s and defined the chilhood gamer in me and I would love to own GTA 1 on GOG and play it again to relive my childhood.
This one a remember that i go to my classmate house to do a paper to school, we did it extra fast just for us spende the hole day playing GTA hahahaha was my favorite game for a looooong time!
grałem tą część na kompie z windows 98 ale była po angielsku a chciałbym żeby była wydana po polsku ta część gry bo w tedy gra się fajnie i rozumie misje całkiem .
GTA, what else to say?
In my youth I'd feeld like a gangster with my copy of the game.
"Bad guy" music, stealing cars, driving arround. Not understanding a lot of the storry.
it's what I think of when hear good old game.
This game was a massive part of gaming history. I own it on Steam, but I can't play it! I would be very happy to purchase it again on GOG if I could just so I could play it again! I know there are ways and means to get it running, but the main issue is modern day controller support.
A true classic, the one that started it all.
This game along with it's expansions and sequel, were available for free on Steam and on the publisher's site for a limited time. It was sadly removed as the developer's couldn't make it work properly on modern systems. GOG should bring this game back and fix it properly.
Genji: Dawn of the SamuraiIt is 1159 AD, and a brutal samurai clan called The Heishi have stepped in to take power after the old nobility fell. With their mystical stones, they rule the land through fear and violence.Action Fantasy
Genji: Days of the BladeIt's been three years since Yoshitune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, warriors of the Genji Clan, defeated the Heishi Clan in a war over the "Amahagane". The Amahagane are sacred jewels which grant the owners godlike powers, such as Kamui. Now, rumors are spreading of new, ungodly creatures fighting with Heishi warriors, even without the powers of Amahagane. Yoshitsune and his companions must draw their weapons again, and with the new strength given to them by the Amahagane, defeat the new evil to save all of Japan.
Genji: Days of the Blade, sequel to the PlayStation 2 game Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, is an action game, based in ancient/feudal Japan, in which you must defeat a new, mysterious source of evil to save your country. You control one of four characters (changeable in real-time), each with their own weapons, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Yoshitsune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, the main characters of the previous game, join with Gozen Shizuka and Lord Buson to complete their quest. Yoshitsune is a young warrior who wields a katana in each hand, Benkei is a mighty warrior-monk who uses a war club and a naginata for weapons. Shizuka is a nimble priestess who is adept with chained blades, and Buson is a God of War from the Overworld who carries a double saber and can use supernatural powers.
The game play involves fighting many enemies and bosses with regular attacks, combo attacks, and Kamui. Kamui is a power that you can use to summon a magical space around you in which you unleash multiple special attacks on surrounding enemies by pressing buttons in series as they appear on the screen. Your Kamui bar fills as you land successful hits on opponents. The characters travel through both levels based on real locations in Japan and fantasy locations, defeating everything from regular Heishi warriors to giant, mutated enemy crabs. The level design involves platformer elements and solving small puzzles, such as destroying Masho flowers scattered throughout an area to open a door.
The game also has RPG elements; you collect Amahagane and Mashogane hidden around levels and from fallen enemies. They can be used to augment character stats and weapon attack power, respectively. You can also find new weapons and items such as herbs with healing properties, or scrolls that give you attack bonuses for a period of time.Action Historical
