It was Grand Theft Auto Vice city & GTAIII at the same time.

Yep.
I remember when my Dad and I finished it. All the years gone past, he still brings up the character Uncle Fuji and the jobs he assigned you to do.

I don't think I heard about 2 and moved onto III but eventually I did play it and enjoyed it.

I started with GTA 2 and saw an article for GTA III in some gaming mag by chance at my uncles house. I still remember the image I saw that would change everything I thought gaming was. It was claude with a bat at his side. GTA2+3D=MIND BLOWNED I just knew I had to get a PS2 and GTA III.

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

GTA 1 was my first as well. played it first at a friends house freshman year of high school.

GTA 1 & 2: got for Christmas 1999 (both for PC)
GTA London 1969: 2004 or so for PSX, with the GTA collector's edition
GTA London 1961: 2006 I think... I actually had to buy the PC version of 1969 to play it. I played one mission and gave up. That games so hard!
GTA LCS: got for Christmas 2005 along with the PSP.
All other GTA games were purchased the day they came out or the night before:
GTA III 2001
Vice City 2002
San Andreas 2004
GTA Advance (online preorder) 2004
VCS 2006
GTA IV (online preorder) 2008
TLAD 2009
Chinatown Wars 2009
EFLC 2009
have GTA V pre-ordered at Gamestop.

My first was GTA 2 in 2009 so I was about 11 at the time, then GTA 3 in 2011, and SA, VC and IV in this year.

I started with the original GTA back than, I convinced my dad to buy it for me because I thought it looked cool, turns out it was , and I have played all of them except Chinatown Wars and GTA London. But I didn't become a big fan of the GTA series until Vice City when my cousin brought it over with his ps2 and I heard Billy Jean I was hooked!
