Richy1985 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hi, It is stated that GTA was released in October of 1997. Does anyone happen to know when in October this was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sektor Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) This Japanese site says 1997.11.21 - http://gta.rdy.jp/gta1/ Edited November 29, 2011 by Sektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy1985 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks, but it's all in another language. Can you translate the contents of the page in the link into English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzbegone Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The actual release date of Grand Theft Auto is not clear. While Rockstar Games asserts in /classics/gta.html its official website that the game was released in October 1997, GameSpot and IGN indicated that the game was only released on February or March 1998, respectively. A translation of Sektor's link which is more credible than Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sektor Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) http://web.archive.org/web/19981206062642/...om/november.htm And in Denmark, Lars sent me the info on where he got his copy of GTA from: "I ordered it from "autosonic" a local computer firm here in Denmark. I ordered it about a month ago and got it yesterday (28/11-97) and I paid 399.- DKK for it (80 $). , but I don't think they will send it to the US." Thanks Lars! It seems November 1997 is the earliest anyone got their hands on it. Edited November 29, 2011 by Sektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleco Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Can't confirm the exact date, but I know that it was released on PC in late 1997. I was playing it in December - I had it for Christmas that year. Lots of people seem to forget that this game came out for PC as well as the original Playstation. Sorry I can't be more help than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
