Also, could someone please tell me where to download Grand Theft Auto II, also, if you tell me I can get it at www.rockstar.com/classics/ i will go insane!
Rockstar doesn't allow anyone else to host the game, so the only legal download is only from them.

However, you can buy the game for $20 from http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/grandth2pr.htm or for a tenner from http://tinyurl.com/3o4c6

Sorry to say, but it isn't abandonware, and $10 isn't much for a game.

From the classics page of Rockstar Games: "PLEASE NOTE that while this game may be downloaded for free by all who register by filling out the form on this page, it is NOT freeware and may not be mirrored or duplicated by any third parties without express written consent from Rockstar Games."

2nd one to me was a complete letdown.
Can't put my finger on why, I really loved the first one so it's a bit strange. :blink:

Who were those orange guys that you could ran over in GTA1, that were running in a row and if you would run them all over you'd get a bonanza or something like that??

I think they were supposed to be schoolkids or something only I don't think that was ever said officially because there would probably have been loads of trouble! :D

I think they were supposed to be Hare Krishnas. You know, the Hindu guys who hang out at airports.

Anyway, this thread is pretty sad. Don't just say a game is "omg so awesome!!!!!111" but say why.

And please don't ask people to send you stuff through email. It's, yeah, sad.

I think the orange guys were called Gourangas or perhaps that was just the bonus you got for killing them all, good fun whatever they're called

Gourangas

Gourangas is a code in gta 2

at first the connection kept timing out (so i didn't get the e-mail) and then i couldn't get the e-mail sent to me due to "high server demand" (SO I NEVER RECIEVE THE DOWNLOAD LINK.):angry:

San Andreas all the way...

But out of those 3, i'd say #1

edlglide

07-01-2005, 08:10 PM

San Andreas is the most impressive because of the size of the world -- but I think Vice City had a better setting and better storyline. Some of the stuff in San Andreas seemed really far-fetched, even for a video game or movie. Vice City was a little more realistic.

Havell

07-01-2005, 09:53 PM

Gouranga is what it says when you run over a whole line of the Hare Krishnas, it means "Have a nice day!" and it is what the Hare Krishnas say in real life (when people shove past them in airports). It was hugely popular and this popularity was the reason it got in as a cheat code in GTA 2.

San Andreas has too many "gangstaz". I had enough media glorification.

i like GTA : London although the cops were weak, i thought it was best non 3d one.

edlglide

I'm curious as to where they're going to set the next GTA game. They've covered most of the cities in the US that I think would have any appeal -- New York, Miami, Vegas, and LA. Sure they could do it somewhere like Chicago or Detroit, but those cities just don't seem like overly interesting choices. I suppose Washington, D.C. could be done since it's the capital, but Washington really isn't very big, and there aren't really any interesting cities to connect it to like in San Andreas. Maybe they'll go European.

mikebarry

09-01-2005, 07:39 AM

Yah...all I know is that the 3 'GTA3' versions that came out....Liberty City (the first), Vice City, and San Andreas were all three areas in the original Grand Theft Auto (http://www.abandonia.com/game.php?ID=184&genre=action). So, as far as future sequels in Europe/Outside US? Perhaps you're correct...

Havell

09-01-2005, 11:00 AM

Well after the original GTA came GTA: London so the next game may well be in London! :Brain: Also, the game was based in 1969 so maybe this next one will be set during the 60s! I once heard that San Andreas would be based during the 60s, when I found it wasn't I was gutted :angry:

they'd have to be hari christianers. Forgive me for not having a clue, but I've just downlaoded GTA1 and would love to know if it is possible to save a game.

spiderchild

Access to the VIP sections on the forum and main site, plus the badge under your name that earns you the respect of men and the admiration of women.

"GOURANGA!!!" They are "Hari Chrisnas" (Sorry if I spelt it wrong, which I assume I did) if I remember correctly.

Well, I am a big fan of the series. Although "San Andreas" was a let down in my case. I didn't like the story that much, but if they could remake GTA3 and use the "San Andreas" engine, I would be in heaven. Tiny

I believe the reason the file size is so big is because of all the music and sfx in the game. But I could be wrong. Who knows? Tiny

DeathDude

06-02-2005, 02:39 AM

Sounds about right in terms of size, I think that's how much hd space it took last time I installed GTA. Something around that. With music, movies and everything.

spiderchild

07-02-2005, 06:07 PM

yeah but since it wasn't 3d i was expecting around the 150 mb region this is huge thought! my computer is broken and the one i'm using i have to be careful not to download anything bad (viruses) so i can't really take up my sisters valueble time by downloading this and i can't download any download managers cos then my mum wud go ape, so here i am. :blink: i wanna play gta 2!!!! :cry:

Tiny

07-02-2005, 11:14 PM

I found the game in my local EB games for arounf $5.00. But I reccomend you look for the collection if you have a PS1 or PS2 since it comes with the first three games, "GTA 1", "GTA 2" and "GTA: London 1969". Tiny

I spent so many hours playing GTA 2 with my mate, we would compete to see who could rob the most tanks/last the longest against the police. No cheats and you start with a pistol. We kicked so much arse. :rifle: :Titan:

I don't know about that. I preffered GTA 3's story to "Vice City" and "San Andreas". Why? Probably because of the whole Mafia storyline, and it seemed that they put a lot more work into those cut-scenes. Tiny
