All the negative comments are obviously from clueless youngsters who didn't know shit about the original gta as it was before their time. I remember coming home from school every night playing this til bedtime lol it was so addictive. Sweet memories for this timeless classic.
People need to respect the classics this is how gta started if it wasn't for people buying gta 1 we wouldn't have gta 2 and so on so people who hate classics learn to love the classics I haven't played gta v in months I've been playing gta vice city great game 👍
yeah because of evolution(tldr[?]) gta vc is great for me too, yes the graphics are low but atleast we get beautiful sunsets, best radios, best gameplay, and see-through doors in and out.
OH MY GOD!!! :') tears fell from my eyes, this flashbacks all my childhood memories, I remember playing this on my PS1 way back in 2005 along with THPS 2 , TEKKEN 3, ....
Man for a 90's game this game was truly OFF THE HOOK and I Always remember when I played this a kid I couldn't stop because it was so Epic, the sandbox complex, the freedom and oh my god this takes me back. I mean this was so great because there were 3 cities in one game and the Graphics was awesome for that time. THANKS!!
I remember back in the days that this game was a great controversy, _"you can actually steal cars and shoot at police with a bazooka!"._ Everyone wanted to have this game and it wasn't considered healthy for a 12 year old (me) to play it.
I played this game when i was 4-6 years old and now im 10 i got new gta and this game has been forgotten in my whole life after i get gta sa this video brings me back my memories so thank you i appreaciate it
This is why you must show your kids the older games first, newer games later, let them know what "games" really are, and to show them that good games aren't always "good looking" and vice versa.
Don't listen to what anyone says to criticize this game, it kicked serious ass! The graphics don't matter, the gameplay was ridiculously fun and addicting haha. You even came to love all of the game's flaws too haha.
Honestly it's my favorite one in the series. I've played the others but this was so amazing for its time and too this day bring back so many memories especially those cool songs I liked listening too on the GTA radio. Wish I still had it along with many other games I played from back then.
Oh my god! Why does every kid care about graphics! Can't you just enjoy it for being a game made in the 90's or just not get into stupid arguments about it? By the way, to anyone who is new to UA-cam, don't be surprised by all the trolls and haters who are going to respond to this.
Oh and by the way I love gta 1. I haven't played it yet because I can't find it but my dad tells me about when he used to play it and I still thought it was cool no matter what the graphics looked like. Just my opinion though. 😶
You need a creative mind to enjoy this game. This is art. This is feeling. This is 2pac. This shits real. You kids that doesn't get that are missing out of the great wisdoms of what life can provide, and this game eats it's essence
The whole game had moments of hilarity and was just twisted. I mean, a game named 'Kill Frenzy' with a game show host intro, congratulating you on your efforts., and when you ran into people or picked fights with them, they yelled 'BITE ME TWICE!' And that whole thing where you kill the line of orange men and you get 'GURUNGA!!' come up on your screen. The newer GTA's don't have those moments of dark humour that the original had.
every time i search up for an old game on UA-cam, comments are filled with kids that are complaining about the graphics and comparing it with current gen games, and adults complain about kids complaining about graphics. why care so much for graphics? there are loads of games with shit graphics that are thousand times more enjoyable.
of course rockstar didn't know, when they made this game...they created a game series that would become a legend, and remember, its not about graphics (some times) its about game play...I wish I gta (any) on a pc...cause I want mods
comment section in a nutshell: 50% comments: Stop talking about the graphics! You Children nowadays don’t understand anything! 30% comments: graphics is shitty 9% comments: I remember back in my day where i played this game and it was fun;) 1% comments: gta changed alot
I remember how GTA 1 graphics look awesome when it released. Actually gameplay was more funny and entertaining than todays GTA's. GTA 1 & 2 still the best.
Considering the time and the technology available it was a great free roam game. There were none at the time where you can deviate from linier game play This made it possible to do what you always wanted in a game and just kill stuff or get out and drive off. In 1997 there weren't any decent orginal games, just getting coins, sports or Doom style 1st persons shooters with the same plot and ending. Someone had an idea and ran with it.
I am 33 now. Really miss that time when I was playing this game after school. It was awesome... I remember all the sounds in the menu) street sounds .. crying
Im from liverpool but i live in douglas in dundee now, i sometimes eat im the mexican place below it, i still play gta 1 aswell awsome game never knew it was made here until i moved here
I remember when I saw this game first time in 1999,I full in love with this game at first moment I always ask to my cousin to let me play it in his computer, special after dandy 8 bit games, this game for me was like something from another planet
I see people complaining about people complaining about the graphics. I think it's okay to say the graphics are bad, because these graphics are not just bad, they're ugly. The tiling is broken, not to mention this person enabled interpolation, something the PSX couldn't do, which made the graphics look *even worse.*
It does have pretty bad graphics but that is not why I don't like it I liked GTA IV and V (I have never played 2 and 3) but the reason I thought they were all cool because of how smooth it ran and especially the way the camera is set I just don't really like games that the camera is in like a birds eye view I just think it is really hard to play for me but I can see why a lot of people would like this game especially since it is so retro and pretty much carried one of the most popluar games toady to be really famous it is kinda like sonic or mario
That's not an opinion, that's a troll comment. No one with an eye sight or half a brain can have an opinion that this is better than gta 5. Like for christ's sake, lol
All those kids here saying that this game got bad graphics... this game is from 1997 wtf do you expect
If this not exist,theres no gta 5 you *****
Well even for 1997, they were pretty primitive graphics. However DMA Design was a tiny studio back then.
And not really, you can't do much better on PS1.
Super Jimmy Bros. Hahaha! White kids XD good thing I'm a non white asian
tekken came out the same year
There's people actually hating this game because of the "graphics" I can't stop laughing at them. Do they even know when this game was out???
1997
exactly so why say "the graphics suck"?
Idk ppl are stupid

Only people from that time can truly understand how revolutionary and epic this game was! still one of the best game I've ever played.
I had so much fun on this game when i was a child, this was like todays version of GTA 5, everyone loved it.
TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still better grafics than today flash games
Umm, no. They suck
No, not really.
***** ph is an old Greek sound that doesn't even exist today...
***** but the f sound we now today is different than it was before.. actually it was using both lips.. a blowing sound actually
***** yes I agree... i don't even know why i did post that... just to cause trouble...
Us 90's kids know this will always be the best GTA ever
I still play it sometimes
And us 2000’s kid strongly disagree. Best was 2
Classic nostalgia childhood 🎉❤
2000s (2010) has gta 4/gta 5🍷🗿
Nobody in their right mind is counting 2010 as 2000s
Kids... Here's my advice.....Just because the Graphics look crap... doesn't always mean the game is crap.... you will realize in time ;)
>< what are you guys talking about??? Gta 1 has one of the best graphics in video games, ever!!!
Aditya Sharma are u nuts!?
Rockstar games did their best in the 90's.... Just like Dynablocks evolved into Roblox...

i'm 15 and my generation definitely sucks...
TheFranzDay at least you have a brain.
I wasnt born in 1997 but i do love it i dont care if its old, but i grew up with vice city

Didn't play gta 1 too much as a kid but was all about gta 2. Good times. When gta 3 hit, it was a revolution. Remember kids, respect is everything.
Great game, played it when it first come out, loved the music, and the crazy stuff you could do - birth of a legend.
Man, GTA has come a long way! I've never played this but for a 90's game, it looks great.

0:24 explains all gta until now
Considering the time and the technology available it was a great free roam game. There were none at the time where you can deviate from linier game play This made it possible to do what you always wanted in a game and just kill stuff or get out and drive off. In 1997 there weren't any decent orginal games, just getting coins, sports or Doom style 1st persons shooters with the same plot and ending. Someone had an idea and ran with it.
old-good times

I liked how back In the day they said these were badass graphics
But other people in the comments I'm not them kids that are like OH THIS GAME SUCK BAD GRAPHICS I'm not one of them ok
Jeffy Why when i was 4, i thought the graphics were awesome.
I feel so... so...
I can't tell if I feel old or young 😂
Loved this game so much. I knew all the songs on the radio so well.
My childhood!
I am 33 now. Really miss that time when I was playing this game after school. It was awesome... I remember all the sounds in the menu) street sounds .. crying
played this so much in my history
nostalgia !!!! thx for the upload dude
How the hell did this turn into the game we love now?
I was born and raised in the same town as GTA. Dundee, Scotland.
Im from liverpool but i live in douglas in dundee now, i sometimes eat im the mexican place below it, i still play gta 1 aswell awsome game never knew it was made here until i moved here
GTA has come a long way
I play GTA 1 at 4 years old and now i have 15.
This game is awsome. I cry when I see again GTA 1.
Respect Rockstar Games!
If you don't like it get GTA 5
thats why it got multiple sequels
Why not both?
I remember when I saw this game first time in 1999,I full in love with this game at first moment I always ask to my cousin to let me play it in his computer, special after dandy 8 bit games, this game for me was like something from another planet

I see people complaining about people complaining about the graphics. I think it's okay to say the graphics are bad, because these graphics are not just bad, they're ugly. The tiling is broken, not to mention this person enabled interpolation, something the PSX couldn't do, which made the graphics look *even worse.*
Still better than GTA V
It does have pretty bad graphics but that is not why I don't like it I liked GTA IV and V (I have never played 2 and 3) but the reason I thought they were all cool because of how smooth it ran and especially the way the camera is set I just don't really like games that the camera is in like a birds eye view I just think it is really hard to play for me but I can see why a lot of people would like this game especially since it is so retro and pretty much carried one of the most popluar games toady to be really famous it is kinda like sonic or mario
This is where it all started.
I think am one of those kids at likes the game and think it's not to different from gta 5
It's crazy for me to think this game came out when I was in High School,feeling old.
*still better than V*
Wtf you idiot
thats his opinion, idiot, learn how to respect people's opinion
That's not an opinion, that's a troll comment. No one with an eye sight or half a brain can have an opinion that this is better than gta 5. Like for christ's sake, lol
just because the comment looks like a troll comment, doesnt mean it was a troll comment
Yea ok, someone honestly believes that gta 1 is better than gta 5. You need a psychiatrist softy
The kids today don't know how fun this was
