I spend hours of my childhood playing gta 2 with the oil spills so much fun

Nice work! I'd love to see how GTA 3 changed the video game landscape again!

[@retrophantom227]

I'm covering that game next year in my Rockstar Takeover Series.

[@congydave]

@@retrophantom227 Amazing! I remember playing the game Driver 2 (released a year before GTA 3) and trying to run through the entire map without getting into a car, wishing I could interact with the surroundings and NPCs. It felt like everything came together perfectly with GTA 3.

[@Deadguy1988]

Great video very detailed stuff I never knew. Back in 1997 I was 9 I got the demo on a demo disc with the 5min timer me and friends took turns to destroy much as possible in that 5mins. Great fun, you could Imagine my glee when I came home from school one day and there it was sitting on my pc desk my dad had bought It for me installed within minutes and many late nights were had ❤ you dad

[@Deathlord660]

What up! Great content, I love how diverse the selections are for your retrospectives. I got a few good ideas for you game wise. You ought to check out Stubbs the Zombie & Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddlers green. Both are on original Xbox and both are truly hidden gems of their era. Take care and thank you for the content!

[@retrophantom227]

I'm currently building a PC to be the ultimate emulator so it can Run XBOX games and when I do, I'll add it to the list for next year.

First GTA with multiple protagonists and if I rememember correctly one of them was even a female!😱

Back when you could do that without all the Diversity people getting involved and making her fit their sexist dogmas.

[@bobroberts2581]

Just here to see if you bring up that GTA 1 was the first U.S. expansion pack content for a Console game, requiring you to let the PS1 load the engine from the GTA disc 1 before having you return the GTA:London disc back into the console.

[@retrophantom227]

Spoiler Alert: That's my next video 😉
