GTA 1 and the London games at 30fps finally, rather than the original frame rate of 24fps. And my original save files work too. And, since it's the Windows version, it will be possible to play direct IP multiplayer with it. Thanks so much for this, what a great way to celebrate the 25th anniversary!

What a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of GTA, even though I am a day late to the celebration, having all three games remastered on such a day is nothing short of respect. This version may even rival the MAX PACK by Toshiba-3. I have not played all the way through this version of the 2D trilogy, but it all looked good to me from the outside and among the few things I messed around with in-game. I love the CRT filter you added and combined with the aspect ratio option makes for a nostalgic joyride, I am not sure what to think about the other filters. Bilinear, scanline, fast-sharpen, and xbr-lv2-noblend are the only ones I noticed any real differences on. Albeit small, they made a difference in comparison to the other filters on this list where I saw little to no effect at all, although that could just be my laptop acting funny. Something I noticed about London 1969 and 1961 is that both have scores from previous games, I think you may have forgotten to fix that, but it is not really a big deal breaker. There are some suggestions I would like to add to improve the experience, I'll leave the glitch hunting to others or when I eventually get back into the spirit of the game. Quick edit: There's only two languages at the moment, hope to see support for other languages in an update. Also, what does the German flag icon at the upper right do? HUD needs an update: Don't get me wrong, I like the HUD, it gives off a typical 90's or 2000's vibes just from the way it looks alone. But the background picture looks rushed and somewhat bland along with the very few options you are allowed to choose from. I think the HUD could use a small update for both the options and the picture itself, along with an option to play the game separately with their own unique menus and backgrounds to match the game you choose. Also, for some reason, there's two descriptions missing for the "Vsync" and "Aspect ratio" option when I tried to hover my mouse over them. One option that definitely needs to be included is the "Controls" menu, I know you could just look inside the folders and change the controls from there but a quick click on the HUD instead navigating the folders would be nice. I guess you could also include having the 2D GTA maps as an option, but I'm sure most people know how to do a quick search and find them on Bing or Google so this is not really a priority, although it would be nice. 3DFX & Low Color Mode: This one may be a stretch and probably impossible to include seeing as this is running on the Windows version of 2D GTA games, but it would be nice to play with these options. I know there is not really any real reason to play with these versions and I do not have a good argument to justify their inclusion should they be implemented aside from low color's different graphics and possibly better framerate. I guess that's more up to you as I feel this package is overall solid. That is all I could really offer as suggestions and from what I have noticed outside the games. I do not want to come off as ungrateful or as whiny for this port, I am not, thanks to your contribution the game runs better and plays better. Not to mention, the multiplayer is much more accessible and less of a headache to set up than the MAX PACK version which required a few you to do some outside programming to even do. So again, you have my and the thanks of everyone in the GTA community.

Will I think about adding in the future "Controls" menu You can already open the controls via right click on "Play Game". I have also written in the info, I thought that you don't have to go there so often and have decided for this way. But should be more visible and not an "Easter Egg", good point. HUD/Design of Launcher I didn't want to overload it, but I thought about adding some details. Maybe I will change something in the future, but it has no priority. (Is also always a matter of taste) EDIT 2 hours ago, ThermalSmoke said: There's only two languages at the moment, hope to see support for other languages in an update. Also, what does the German flag icon at the upper right do? The other languages are already included. But currently you can only select English and German in the launcher. Will be changed with the upcoming update. German flag icon at the upper right Changes the language for the launcher to German or English if German is active.

The HUD is not a priority obviously, but it could do with a lot more style, but I suppose it is a matter of taste. Was not aware of the fact that the controls menu was hidden in plain sight by right clicking the "play game" text, guess that's what happens when you skim through the "read me" text file, so I take full responsibility for that blunder. Thanks for letting me know what the German icon does, when I talked about different languages in a future update, I meant for the HUD not necessarily in-game as it already came with that in the files in the "settings". Hope to see great strives with for this decompiled or reverse engineered version of the 2D games. You got my support.

Is it possible to play the games at 30 fps without speeding up the gameplay? If so, how? I tried disabling the framelimiter and capping the framerate to 30 in rivatuner, but it was still super sped up. Is there any way to save the game? like a quicksave/save state feature. I think it only saves when you complete an area.

I'm curious is the glitch also here which causes game to crash when finishing TV Van-mission in the end of 1961, I don't really wanna test it out myself now as you gotta go through the previous missions of 1961 before each attempt of that mission and it's difficult to finish too like all the missions on this dlc, and there are no save states to use either... But yeah, the game is looking and working nicely otherwise damian001 Like Loading..." data-ipsTooltip-ajax="https://gtaforums.com/topic/986492-grand-theft-auto-ready2play-full-game-windows-version/?do=showReactionsComment&comment=1072067347&reaction=1&tooltip=1" data-ipsTooltip-safe title="See who reacted "Like""> 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/986492-grand-theft-auto-ready2play-full-game-windows-version/?do=findComment&comment=1072067347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. I always feel old when I read Reddit comments by people who say they feel old because they remember when GTA III came out. I played a lot of GTA I and II in the late 90s/early 00s. Admittedly GTA I felt a bit dated at the time but GTA II was great. The top-down view didn't age well I guess but made it feel quite distinctive. I feel like in a lot of people's minds the series only really began at III.
2. Similar effect with the Fallout series. A whole lot of the fanbase has never played any of the three 2D games (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics). The series started, for them, with Fallout 3.
Iโm kinda that way with Elder Scrolls. My first one was III (Morrowind) and Iโve still never played the first two.
3. Yeah, for me, Fallout 1 and 2 are the definitive Fallout games (ignoring Tactics as I never played it). I felt like 3 and onward were like Elder Scrolls total conversions, and I always saw them as "spiritual successors" but not exactly cut from the same cloth, or something. Like, same universe, but very different style and feel, and far less memorable or influential to me. Of course I played the first two games at a far more impressionable age, but the actual atmosphere of the games was a lot more gritty and impactful, even comparing the "eras" today.
4. The worst part about it is that the new games completely miss the irony in the themes. In the original the Vault Boy design that shows up everywhere was in stark contrast to the entire atmosphere and theme of the game, which was dark to the point that it'd probably have trouble being remade in modern times without extensive censorship. It created an amazing and immersive feel to the game somehow, in spite of the graphics being simple to the point of most characters looking literally identical (which can be quite confusing in an RPG where characters also wander).
But the new games are goofy throughout and basically just Skyrim with guns in a post apocalyptic setting, which feels like they just took the Vault Boy meme and turned it into a game. Even things like nuking an entire town has no 'oomph' behind it thanks to the goofy feel of the game, which feels thematically much more like Borderlands than it does Fallout.
5. The Bethesda Fallout games are not the same universe. Sure canonically they are but there is a giant aesthetic difference. Fallout 1 was occasionally wacky but was mostly straight. Fallout 2 went a bit more comedic. But the main thing is that these were post apocalyptic societies that were trying to still evolve and move on. Bethesda Fallout leaned too much into the 1950s tropes everywhere and increased the comedic levels to much. It stopped being their own separate societies living in these post apocalyptic societies, and started being just a comical post apocalyptic world full of 1950s references, despite Fallout NOT being based on the 1950s.
6. It is said Bethesda was kit bashing the initial titles.
Griefers don't get mad... we all know it is true =3
7. Daggerfall is a must!!! You'll get to see how it shaped Bethesda and the Elder Scrolls games that came after (including Morrowind)
8. Yeah, Daggerfall really holds up well today. The game can be downloaded completely for free (truly gratis; no DLC, no ads) on Steam. Then using the official data files you'll get the best experience playing with Daggerfall Unity [2] which is a fanmade rewrite of the game engine on Unity. DFU fixes/avoids a lot of longstanding bugs in the base game, runs in high resolution, and has a long draw distance (which is a big deal since the in-game distances are VAST).

[2] https://www.dfworkshop.net/daggerfall-unity-1-0-release/
9. Thank you for this. I feel i missed this title as a youth but it was of the era i loved. Modern games have somewhat spoilt old input and controls for me but a modernisation is just what i need
10. You might also be interested in Barony.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/371970/Barony/
11. Daggerfall by default has some pretty weird controls but even the original game lets you customize them enough to play with WASD movement and strafing and full mouse-look. It's very smooth. DFU makes the frame rate even smoother so that it really has a great feel!
12. Yeah, itโs on the list for when I can put 20+ hours a week into video games again without constant interruptions (kids, man, hahaha, I appreciate pick-up-and-put-down sorts of games so much more than I used to)
13. They recently remastered it for modern systems, it will be there when the kids ask โWhatโs that?โ And you get to open Pandoraโs box for them. โOh this? Thisโฆ is Elder Scrollsโ.
I had a similar moment in my life when my daughter asked me about D&D late 2010s. Theyโre grown now but boy did I bombard them with nerddom.
14. Did you deliberately leave out Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, or did you just forget it exists?
15. Console only fallout game? Fake. Canโt be real.
[edit] but really, I was like โman, I feel like thereโs another oneโฆโ but figured I must have just been thinking of the never-made sequel that got as far as some planning (Van Buren).
16. GTA II is still my favourite GTA.
17. My first time playing anything in the GTA series was the GameBoy Color version of GTA 2. I borrowed it from a friend for a week or two, and enjoyed it quite a lot. My parents were pretty against me playing any kind of โviolentโ video games. So secretly playing GTA 2 on the GBC was kind of exciting due to that as well. Even though the โviolenceโ in GTA 2 on GBC is of course very tame in terms of any kind of graphic realism or anything.
A few years later one of my friends was playing GTA III on the PS2 at his home. I also had a PS2, but there was no chance of my parents letting me play that, and I didnโt even play it at his house either.
Later still, Rockstar was giving away GTA 2 for PC for free on their website. So I played GTA 2 a little bit on PC too, after GTA III (and probably Vice City) was already out.
It took many years before I finally had a chance to play GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. My first time playing GTA III and GTA Vice City was when I was an adult with an iPhone and they sold iOS ports of those games in the App Store. I ended up completing GTA III and GTA Vice City on the iPhone and have played a bit of GTA San Andreas on the iPhone as well, including completing the famous train mission.
18. I remember one of my brotherโs friends bringing over gta 3 and, after having played gta 2 and the 1960s London version, having my early teenage mind absolutely blown. One of my older brothers had a job and had copped a ps2, and let me play it when he was at work or with friends.
I mustโve crashed the dodo hundreds of times, trying to figure it out in a pre YouTube world, where the best I could do is exchange tips with my friends at school.
19. I haven't played GTA 2 much, but the first one was certainly pretty violent narratively speaking. I remember a mission where you have to drive a truck full of explosives into a building and blow it up, for instance.
20. That mission's not very hard... All you have to do is follow the damn train, CJ!
21. Played the first "3" on the first PlayStation.
Completely different game from where it went since GTA 3.
And while Vice City will always be my favorite, looking back, I think the originals were better and I had more fun. But maybe I was just younger ...
22. I remember the DOS (?) GTA demo that came on a PC Gaming magazine demo disk. I think it had a ten minute time limit?
Tons of fun on a friends dark green Acer Aspire.
23. And you could reach 1 million $ on those 10 mins, just had to put a bomb car south to the start point, get the orange guys to follow you, get inside the car, trigger the bomb and wait for detonation inside the car.
Additionally, you could go under the fences if you parked a heavy vehicle next to them and crawled below it.
Don't forget walking below the city entering the spot where the water was solid on northwest pier.
And finally, if you left the train in the precise spot, you could exit the train on top of the (eletrified) tracks and would not die.
24. It's fascinating how often it is really the tension against the unintended boundaries of virtual worlds that's the thing we remember most.
25. My friends in I would spend entire weekends in high school "hiking" in Halo: finding spots on campaign levels to clip out of bounds, and then exploring the exterior geometry until we hit a spot that dropped us to our deaths.
26. Yes! I remember it, it was around 1997/98, I was a kid and couldn't believe a game like that could exist lol! it was so crazy for that time
27. Oh yes! I remember playing that at a friend's house when I was 5 years old and having my little mind blown. I couldn't believe you could just take any car and go anywhere you wanted.
I later got my hands on a copy of GTA2 and played that a lot, behind my parents' back of course
28. One of my favorite Easter eggs that I discovered on my own was the "Elvis has left the building" message you get when you ran over the entire line of Elvis impersonators walking down the street. I Can't remember off the top of my head if it was GTA 2 or 3.
My #1 favorite was accidentally discovering that if you shoot some missiles at the Statue of Liberty in Twisted Metal 2.
29. I'm old (ish?), was an avid gamer and grew up on DOS, playing games like GORILLA.BAS, Alley Cat, Dangerous Dave etc. Yet somehow I never played GTA I and II. I did hear about them but none of my friends played it, no one I knew had it in fact, so was never compelled to try it.
GTA III was my first GTA game so for me and my mates, that's when the series began. Not really sure why I and II were so low-key where I lived.
30. https://www.npr.org/2002/07/09/1146385/grand-theft-auto-iii
If I had heard of GTA games previously, I hadn't really considered playing them because stealing cars just didn't seem interesting. But I remember hearing about GTA3 on NPR and the review made it sound so amazing that I purchased it.
31. I like how GTAโ
ข is the only 3D GTA game (not 3D- era GTA game, because Chinatown Wars lol) where you can permanently select the oldschool top-down camera. It's kind of a trip to play it that way.
32. I never knew that.
PS: loved Chinatown Wars. Unfortunate itโs not better known.
33. A couple of days ago a colleague of mine was talking about very old rts games he still liked to play , and mentioned red alert. It turned out he had never heard of dune 2, Warcraft 1 and 2!
34. Check out Rustler Grand Theft Horse on the Epic Games Store, it's the same top-down format, very GTA-like but set in medieval times, yet has all of the modern banter. It's so great.
35. I played GTA after I played Carmageddon and I thought the graphics on GTA were kind of retro at the time, but in reflection, it does have some charm, I think.
36. Loved carmageddon, and yes graphics felt far more modern than GTA. Still loved gta eventually though as it was more fun.
Dropped out of gaming before GTA3 came out, but was given a PlayStation and gta V last year, very disappointed there was no โgourangaโ
37. I'm more than old enough to remember the original GTA and GTA II, and I have friends who played and loved both of them. For me, I thought the first GTA had graphics from the past (I'd got too used to playing 3D shooters on PC - along with Wipeout on the Playstation - so struggled to get past the top down presentation), and just felt janky to play. GTA II was more polished, but I still didn't love it. Yet people raved about them.
Anyway, the negative associations I had with GTA I and GTA II stopped me from playing any other GTA game until 4 came out in 2008, at which point I was like, OK, FFS, people won't stop banging on about this so I suppose I'll try it again. I ended up really liking it but, because I only played it on friends' consoles, and I started the game several times over, I never played it all the way through until 2018. I then played through both the expansions, along with GTA V in 2019. I've subsequently gone back to play III and Vice City, both of which I also like - as well as Vice City Stories on the PSP. I've barely touched San Andreas, but the few minutes I have played suggest that I'll also enjoy it.
I've even fired up GTA and GTA II again... but still don't really get on with either of them. I presume there must be others out there who were put off enough by them that it meant they've never touched the rest of the series, or only got into again several games later, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly common experience.
38. GTA II is still fun for me, I try it about every third year for a week.
39. Oh my, this is a slap in the face for me too. For me, GTA is the first one. The other ones (III and following) are GTA with 3D and a story line slapped on top. I must have a dislike for 3D because I've tried again the original GTA a few years ago and liked it a lot more than GTA III+. It's just fun without complication.
40. You might want to add [2022] in the title
41. Crap, you're right. But I can't edit anymore. Also that would exceed the character limit.
42. Also available at; https://dos.zone/grand-theft-auto/ where WASM is used to emulate Windows 95 in your browser.
43. 404 - I think you meant
https://dos.zone/grand-theft-auto-1997/
44. I remember when there was a kid who kept installing this and the Chex doom on the school pcs in 7th grade. GTA was pretty controversial as a game even though it is incredibly tame by todayโs standards. Iโm pretty sure they never caught him.
45. I got in trouble for bringing Doom shareware and putting it on one of the computers in the lab at school... worth, though - had half the class exclaiming at the awesomeness until we got busted hahaha
46. I played a lot of GTA1 and a bit of 2 when it came out. I think we used to play it at LAN parties my friends and I had as well. For me thatโs where it stopped and I never clicked with GTA3 and onwards!
47. Do you play other 3d games? I've seen a lot of difficulty for people not growing up with 3d games just managing the camera + movement. Kind of how I feel looking at high level Fortnite play where the rapid fire build play layered on top of usual fps gunplay is just one layer too much complexity for my experiences growing up with fps only video games.
48. Iโve played tons of 3D games, ever since they started coming out.
I could never get very far in GTA 3 or Vice City because of the controls. I tried when they came out and I think I tried again later.
It wasnโt looking around, that was never a problem. The shooting controls were abysmal. If I ended up in a fight with more than one person I was pretty much guaranteed to die.
GTA 4 was the first of the main line series where the controls were good enough for me to enjoy the whole game.
49. I absolutely adored the first 2 games, especially GTA2. "Damnation! No donation, nooo salvation!"
50. GTA2 also had a cool cinematic intro:
https://youtu.be/9Z5O29rLRnw
51. I remember downloading the RealPlayer version
52. I need GTA II on modern consoles. I've begged Rockstar for years but I'm just a single person in their contact form.
53. I'm sure it was officially re-released for modern (of the day) PCs before this? I think I've still got it on discs somewhere, a set of the first trilogy, Vice City, and maybe San Andreas.
54. Your memory is correct! They released GTA1 (all expansions) and GTA2 as free โRockstar Classicsโ in 2003 and 2004 respectively: https://web.archive.org/web/20130116055920/https://www.rocks...
One can get those versions here: https://archive.org/details/rockstar-classics_202107
They're great on XP-era machines! I have both installed on my HITACHI FLORA 270HX
55. Those were GTA3 versions. The linked version is for the original GTA with the classical top view perspective.
56. For the benefit of anyone else trying to read along, it ?seems? there are 2 separate re-releases being referred to.
The first was the Rockstar Classics, which were slightly more modern repackagings of GTA and GTA 2 in the early 2000s https://www.ebay.com/itm/168127378760 which came out around the time gp also got their discs for San Andreas and Vice City
The second was The Trilogy, a much more current and deeper remaster of GTA III as well as those latter two OG games gp had (Vice City and San Andreas) which is actively distributed https://store.steampowered.com/sub/817628/
Speaking of all of these re-releases, I'm surprised Rockstar hasn't re-released GTA 4 recently. There are community made ways to make it run miraculously better on modern PCs as noted in https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV but I'm sure many would pay for something prepackaged (and maybe one or two other improvements). I guess they are too busy printing money with GTA V and hoping the next one will be the same :).
57. > hasn't re-released GTA 4 recently
I did start trying to replay GTA4 recently, and although I loved playing it the first time, this time I couldn't stop noticing that each mission's Niko/NPC dialog feels very forcefully-timed to match almost to the second how long it takes to drive to the first objective. I found it really immersion-breaking.
PCGW sez โSorry! This site is experiencing technical difficultiesโ but IMO if one wants to reinstall, use FusionFix and Radio Restoration mods and no need for anything else. No packaged GTA4 re-release from Rockstar would be good enough to re-license all the removed songs anyway if the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition is any indication: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/333629-grand-theft-auto...
If they really wanted to get my money they would re-release Midnight Club Los Angeles on PC instead :)
58. I vaguely remember Grand Theft Auto being free to download from the Rockstar Games website about ten years ago.
Here is to hoping that Rockstar Games brings these two classics back.
59. Check out Exodos for this type of thing. It's built on launchbox (an emulator front end) and just gives a huge listing of every game you might ever want to play. Those games aren't all installed (assuming you didn't do the full 500GB+ install) but you click the game and it quickly downloads, installs into dosbox and jumps into the game (takes seconds since these are old games).
60. Slightly related, if like me you have gone far to far down the emulation rabbit hole and find that you are now onto FPGA emulation, you might enjoy:
https://0mhz.net/
https://amiga.vision/
I really want to get these working on my steamdeck too but it looks like a lot of work.
61. https://www.retro-exo.com/exodos.html
62. Opened the game, picked a car and immediately went over the Hare Krishnas. Fucking classic, I remember playing this game at school somehow, then played GTA2 until my eyes bled, amazing games.
63. The best version - thank you.
64. Love GTA1, but IIRC my version at least is a 3dfx glide game which makes it quite hard to play on modern kit.
Will give this a try.
65. It has an 8-bit color, a True Color and a 3dfx executable side-by-side in the installation folder.
