Grand Theft Auto1 and 2 Dedicated Server

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action (More info?)

You do know some people are still interested in playing GTA1 and 2
right? Just ask rockstar how many people had downloaded GTA1 and 2
after releasing it for free. Yes, I agree GTA3, VC are awesome but I
know many people who would be interested in playing the classics.

Thanks.

Hands up who is interested in playing a top down DOS game after having
played GTA3/VC/(SA very soon)?

Fairy nuff. I was one of those downloaders, but the games only lasted
about 5 minutes on my hard drive before sense overcame nostalgia
pangs.

Exactly, just because a bunch of peeps dl'ed a free game doesn't imply these
same people are huge fans of the game. I downloaded the game, ripped the
music and deleted the game. I think your idea is 10 years too late.

I always found it really annoying that you couldn't see where you were
going in GTA1 and that pull-back-and-see-more bit it did at high speed
didn't really help.

Fun in it's day, but after GTA:VC, I have NO interest at all in playing
GTA1 or 2 again - not even for the GOURANGA! joy of running over an
entire string of hare krishnas.

Funny how much the game has diverged from the original though, in that
for a game called Grand Theft Auto, you can't steal and sell cars as you
could in GTA, GTA2, GTA:London 1969.
