About the game

The first GTA, seen from above: three cities, a car taken from whoever is driving it, jobs picked up from a payphone.

DMA Design, 1997. It is too heavy for our own player, so it runs through the Internet Archive emulator.

Controls

  • Controls are shown by the player itself, and it draws touch buttons on a phone.

The version in short

  • Platform: MS-DOS
  • Year: 1997
  • Genre: Top-down action

How this runs

The Internet Archive serves this game as a stream only — its files may not be downloaded. So their own emulator opens here, the same one used on archive.org. Nothing is requested from their server until you press play. The rest of the section and our own player are described on the section page.

FAQ

Why does this one open through the Internet Archive?

The library serves this title as a stream and its files may not be copied. We open their player inside the page instead of sending you to another site.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Fullscreen enlarges the picture and asks to turn the phone sideways, which makes it much easier to play.

Are saves kept?

The library player handles saves and ties them to your browser. We have no access to them.
