GTA PC Cheats
The original Grand Theft Auto was released in 1998 for both the original Playstation and the PC. At the time, the games violent subject matter sparked a huge amount of controversy, generated by Take 2's publicist through the media. This helped make it the multi-platinum game it is today. Even after almost a decade, the original GTA can still stand on its own as a quality action game.
