In 1997, a band of developers that would come to be known as Rockstar North and Rockstar Games released the original Grand Theft Auto on an unsuspecting public. The groundbreaking non-linear urban crime game shook up a complacent game industry with its irreverent gameplay, humor and style- and a phenomenon was born.
Rockstar Games are now offering this classic progenitor of the Rockstar Games lineage as the first in a recurring series of Rockstar PC game downloads, absolutely free of charge. It's a chance for new fans to experience the roots of Rockstar as well as the company's way of saying thank you to their long-time supporters feeling that pang of nostalgia. Simply fill out the form in the download source page (found by following the download tab) and check your email for a direct link to the file - they've even optimized the game for play on the latest and greatest computers.
