About Grand Theft Auto 1 (GTA)

Platform: MS-DOS
Category: Action

Grand Theft Auto (1997) is an open-world action game developed by DMA Design and published by BMG Interactive.

The game is set across three fictional cities—Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City—where the player takes on the role of a criminal working their way up through the underworld. Gameplay is presented from a top-down perspective, and players complete missions involving theft, assassination, and other illegal activities while avoiding law enforcement.

Players are free to explore the city, steal vehicles, and cause chaos, making the game one of the earliest examples of a true open-world sandbox experience. Its controversial themes and freedom of choice helped establish the foundation for the later success of the Grand Theft Auto series.
