I started with GTA1. First time I played it was at a friends house. He rented the PC version from a video store.

I started on GTA in 1997. Makes me feel weird to think most people here would have started on Vice City or some such and were in nappies when 1 came out.

Funny you should mention where you began to play GTA, because I pondered on that question about a week ago.

Anyway, here is when I bought each game (by year). They are all 100% accurate, except GTA: London 1969:

GTA 1 - 1997
GTA: London 1969 - 1999 or 2000
GTA: London 1961 - 2000
GTA 2 - Late 2000 (Around November or December)
GTA III - 2001
GTA: Vice City - 2002
GTA: San Andreas - 2004 (I believe the first or second day on the shelves)
GTA: Advance - 2004
GTA: Liberty City Stories - 2005
GTA: Vice City Stories - 2006
GTA IV - 2008 (Definitely the first day)
GTA TLAD and TBoGT - 2010 (Both on the EFLC)
GTA Chinatown Wars - 2010

I started wit' GTA 1 at 1998, mah ver' good friend had it, and so I wanted GTA as well, I enjoyed it so much, I didn't care about when GTA 2 came out.

I think every GTA series-fan should try GTA 1 first, as it's a complete coverage for the other GTAs in the series.

i think i was about 10 when i first tasted gta round a friends, how we howled at the theme music when it goes "f*cked on crack" unaware what crack was at the time, let alone why you would be f*cked on it.

this theme is my ringtone on my phone, and i cant ever answer the phone until the music starts,

good shot kid, you got him

friends often wonder why i answer the phone after the same amount of rings everytime. biggrin.gif

I started with Vice City at my cousin's house at Christmas time. Then, I played III, and San Andreas. That's only after a while that I found a Play Station copy of GTA and GTA: London 1969 (or 1961?). After that, I got Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories at the same time.

Played a PS1 demo in '97 or 98 I think, which led me to get it asap. I remember it just being sh*t loads of fun; getting pals around to play it and seeing who could murder the most people in increasingly inventive ways. Of course it's aged, but GTA back then still holds fond memories for me – they should release a sequel.

My start was GTA San Andreas. I played GTA too, but did not enjoy it as much as I did GTA2. That game's great, despite it being top-down!

But I think this game is also somehow special... After all, here is where the legendary GTA title has started!

My mate had GTA 2 for PC in 2000/2001 so that's the first GTA I played, although we had GTA 1 in the house though and I began playing that and I lator bought GTA 2 for myself(I still have my original case for GTA 1 and 2). After that I somehow skipped GTA III probably because I was so into GTA 2 or I thought that there wasn't any out at the time. Although around 2003 my brother had picked up Vice City and I began playing that, so Vice City was the first 3D GTA game I played. Soon after that I found GTA III in our games stack.

So at this point I was a major GTA fan and I would always resort to the Argos book to see when the next was coming out, which was GTA SA and I bought it on release day and since then I have bought every other GTA on release. smile.gif

So basically here's a list of the GTAs in the order that I played them:
GTA 2
GTA 1(with the London packs)
GTA Vice City
GTA III
GTA San Andreas
GTA Liberty City Stories
GTA Vice City Stories
GTA IV
GTA EFLC(Did not exactly buy it on release due to the exclusivity, bought on release for PS3)
GTA Chinatown Wars(Did not buy on release, didn't realize there was a PSP version tounge.gif)

Nope. First got hooked with GTA2 at a friends house when I was 9. It was so amazing to freely move around a virtual city and do what ever you wanted (well it felt that way at the time.) Ill always remember swerving around the streets in a Ztype and the first time I flattened that entire group of joggers. The game was funny as hell, and had a great soundtrack. Pity it was so f*cking tough, but hey that was just games at the time.

Only a couple years GTA3 came out and blew my mind. My bro bought it for me as soon as it came out and It didn't leave my PS2 for months. I must've told everyone I knew at school about it, people would always come over and we'd play it one life at a time. There was a lot of drama over it in Australia. My parents read an article on it, and whenever they came into the room when I was playing Id drive real carefully, and if they asked what game it was Id tell them it was Midnight Club hahaha. f*ck those were the days.

I started with GTA III in 2002, I believe it was. Was f*cking awesome. Eventually got Vice City, then picked up SA on release day, and then IV Special Edition on release day.
