This is the first part of the series that I got around to playing (back on the ancient celeron on Windows 2000). As often happens, the first game leaves the strongest impressions. And GTA3 is the same case.
at that time it was a breakthrough - an open world where you can have a lot of trouble without touching the plot (which, by the way, is very good), perform stunts in cars, work as a taxi driver, policeman, fireman...
cheats on pieces of paper , modifications on disks from gaming magazines, the first experience of emulating a disk for a game, patches for a diskless game, ...
playing GTA3 is truly interesting, the game has a certain special atmosphere.
It’s a pity there is no multiplayer, but at that time they didn’t think about it at all.
the impressions are very positive, it’s a must to pass (and not only!)
