That was obviously sanitised for the demo because the final game said "fresh pussy".

At least one GTA track I know of was worked on at Seagate Studios in Dundee, because I was in the studio while Robert Del Negro recorded the vocals for it. It was Carjackin' In Hilltown from GTA2. At the time I was a regular in the studio, and remember having a good laugh at the lyrics because they were all names on housing schemes in Dundee! Little did we know what the track was being created for. I also did a gig at the Gardyne Theatre as part of a band who backed Drew Larg, aka Sideways Hank O'Mally, when he performed a song called "Julius" written by Michael Marra.

Dean Brown from Slough and I have tuned the game back in around using GTA programming technology tools in early 2000s where we turned this into a simulation. Including some of the best custom racing circuits and importation of cars. The cars handled in a way the replicated GTA into a top view Gran Turismo creating one of the best simularions the world has ever seen. The timeline of cars included are from the 1989s to 2010 including Nissan skyline GTRs. XJ220, lambo, Ferrari's, Zonda, Mclaren and Bugatti to name a few turning it into one of the most desirable games to exist. Lengenday game... Just legenday

I always hoped for a DS version of Lemmings as i think it would have suited the double screen and touch screen perfectly and would have introduced a whole new generation to the game, but i think Sony own the rights. I remember in the first Grand Theft Auto that if you ran over a full line of Hare Krishnas you would get a large 'Gouranga' message on screen. The Hare Krishnas frequented Dundee around the time the game was being made and could often be heard chanting 'Gouranga' as you passed them. I have always wondered if that was the reason it was within the game.

Eidos, formerly Core Design, they made some fantastic games even before Tomb Raider. Curse of Enchantia, Heimdall, Chuck Rock, Rick Dangerous.

When I was a teen I only knew two things about Derby, the football team that Brian Clough turned into giants and Core Design. Greetings from Dundee :)

I loved it, played this at launch, was a big fan of APB arcade growing up and other action/crime games so this was a natural first week pickup from Babbages or Software Etc. I remember realizing at the time playing it on my PC, that not many people were playing it originally. None of my friends I talked to. But people liked it when you showed them. Once the 3rd hit boy everyone knew what it was then. I still await each release. What a quintessential sim of irreverent hyper reality. Thx Rockstar!
SO interesting seeing the speedometer and guiding arrow, especially since the devs always wanted the player to rely heavily on the paper map for navigation. Can anyone out there explain at 1.01 in the bottom left of the gameplay is a square box, was that some kind of early radar idea?
