meathead Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) edit: The Rockstar Classics free download series is currently unavailable. Now you can download GTA2 for free! It's 344.8MB (300MB of poorly compressed music) The official site for downloading GTA1 is the Official R* Site. You have to fill out a form (only real info you need to put are age and email address). They will then email you the link to download it. As the adage goes, there is no greater joy than the gift of giving. So then it's not entirely selfless that we're once again continuing the tradition of giving away an entire game from the Rockstar library to you. Simply head on over to www.rockstargames.com/classics, fill out the form fields, follow the instructions, and you can download a fully optimized PC version of GTA2 absolutely free. Yes, GTA2. The 2nd proper installment in the Grand Theft Auto lineage, originally released in 1999. The one that introduced the concept of multiple rival gangs vying for your attention and criminal work-for-hire. The Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, Russian mob and Hare Krishnas. Gouranga! This late 20th century top-down classic is now available to you all in the form of a 350MB downloadable .zip, courtesy of Rockstar Games.

Sektor Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Sweet, I wonder if they changed anything other than the cd requirement. For a few days, the download probably won't work when you click "Submit" button. You'll just have to be patient and try again when less people are downloading.

Razorblade_Monkey Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Unbelievable! I hadn't checked out the classics page since Wild Metal a few months back. But I was pretty bored today, so I headed over to the R* site to see how MC3 was going, and then I remembered the classics page. What a treat!!! Maybe it was ESP or something, hehe... I already have the CD version, but I'm really sick of changing game CD's over all the time, so I'll gladly accept a legal NoCD version Either way, I'm in the same boat of waiting in line like the rest of y'all... It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/168713-gta2-free-legal-download/?do=findComment&comment=2342248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
