GTA 1? GTA 1 is tiny..

Well, it was remade for Windows. That's the version you download. It might be why it's so big.

Er.... I have GTA 1 for windows. it's the same Top-down view. And that was under 30 MB. It even had all the videos.

Did it have the sound?

Thunderdog · Post by **Thunderdog** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 10:17 pm

It had all the sounds. "OH MY GAWD!" "Jesus!" "He's got a gun!" And in the videos, there was all the sounds.. "You listen to me you two bit mother *bleep* sucker!"

Rockstar Games has come up with the great idea to add Grand Theft Auto to their Classics list. Not only that, but now it has also been released as free download! The game has been altered to be played on the latest systems with the newer platforms such as Windows XP.

I think the bolded text is the reason why it's so much bigger. I'm not sure, though.

By the way: did you get the game from freeloader.com?

Did animated sequenses and music originally come from cd? That may be a reason.

No, I got it from Cool A-ware site *cough* TIEFIGHTER. And, what diffirence would it make even if I DID get it from Freeloader?

Now I'll have to try it out!

Thunderdog · Post by **Thunderdog** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 7:39 am

In order to get this game, I'll have to get them to send a CD or some shit..

How large is it, I didn't check.

Thunderdog · Post by **Thunderdog** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 7:49 am

It's over 300 MB.

*Spits out Warthog blood*

The f*ck?!

Thunderdog · Post by **Thunderdog** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 7:54 am

Yeah, I know... The version I got, had the sounds, movies, music, etc and was only 20 MB.

Maybe they "accidentally" released GTA3. GTA3 zipped is 150-200MB.

*Clears throat* I told Da_Goat that.

John The Ax · Post by **John The Ax** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 4:50 pm

Maybe it has MAJOR spyware...

The way freeloader compressed their files was weird...I'm not sure why exactly though.

Amro: I've heard the GTA 3 warez copy doesn't come with text.

Orbitman2099: Thanks for posting here, but I actually found that out on a different board. I didn't know GameSpy had it 'til you posted about it, though.

John the Ax: It might be, but I sort of doubt it....I'm not sure why. I just do.

Perhaps they didn't zip it or anything, and just put it in a folder and hosted it....that would be pretty stupid to do though.
