	GTA goes freeware as Rockstar Classics Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The well-known arcade styled racing game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) has recently become legally available for free as freeware in the Rockstar Classics series of Rockstar Games. I.e. you can get it for free now.

You can get it at the official Rockstar Games site (direct link) or some 3rd party site. At least right now Rockstar Games has tried to limit the rush by requesting sites to remove it, but at least Game Navigator (Russian site) has it. If you don't under stand Russian or Cyrilic letters, look for the two red links marked FTP and HTTP at the middle of the page. Those who have access to MBnet can get it there too.

Gouranga!

Why doesn't more companies do this with their old games, that they don't sell anyway

It's not politically correct to say it's a game where you use all kinds of fire arms, drive over police officers, talk dirty stuff, try to commit massacre of Hare Krishna people or hijack cars for living.

Has anyone played it yet? They say they "improved it" to take advantage of modern computers and what not. The download is like 328mb but when i had gta1 installed it was only a 60mb folder

	Tired of ads?

I tested and found out that it works perfectly. The only change I found was that the 1600x1200 display mode had been added. Also the radio channel music is included, except for the menu music that didn't play for some reason.

Is that just 1600x1200 or all the ones in between 1024x768 etc? I dont think my card could manage 1600x1200 to be honest

300x200 ... 800x600, 1024x768 and 1600x1200 was the scale of the resolutions available. I used 1024x768.
