Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto is an open-world action game developed by DMA Design and released for MS-DOS in 1997. Played from a top-down perspective, the game lets players step into the shoes of a criminal rising through the ranks by completing missions, stealing cars, and causing chaos across three sprawling cities inspired by real-world locations.

Known for its open-ended gameplay, dark humor, and edgy tone, Grand Theft Auto broke new ground by allowing players to explore urban environments freely and choose how to complete objectives. Its mix of driving, on-foot action, and radio-style soundtrack laid the foundation for one of the most influential video game franchises of all time.
