I remember watching Spongebob and looking for games on my brother's PC sometime around 2006 when his friend pointed out Vice City in a "well-hidden" folder. Fell in love with the open-world.
Didn't play for a while after that once he found out, though I remember him lending me Liberty City Stories every so often for the PSP we shared.

Around 2003 when I was watching my neighbor playing GTA III on her PS2, she offered me to play many times but I usually turned it down because I enjoyed spectating her using the tank cheat code and causing as much mayhem as possible, it was way too much for my mind to process back then and I fell in love with the series ever since.

In late 2005 or early 2006, when I was 6 years old, I was watching TV when my mom walked in with a plastic bag. This bag contained two games, GTA 3 and GTA Vice City. My mom put in GTA 3 first, and I was absolutely amazed. I was amazed by the fact that you could drive around and do whatever you want, back then I didn't know open world games were a thing. She gave me a controller, and the first things I did was follow the law, stopping at red lights and such. It was great. Ever since, Grand Theft Auto has been my favorite game series.

Fully? In 2004. First time playing it? About 2001 when I was 8, and that was GTA III. In 2004, I got GTA SA for my Birthday. In 2005, I got Vice City and played that. I believe I was 11 at that time.

When I was around 8 or so. Played GTA 1 Then played 2 as long with that British remake.

 

I honestly think I played all of them (even GBA) except 3. Really depressing as I felt like I'm missing out

pretty sure that my introduction to GTA started with Grand Theft Auto 2.

 

I was only like 12 years old or something when my brother and I found the GTA 2 disc amongst a bunch of other PC games that my cousin gave to us when he got a new computer. it was in a box along with old titles like Unreal Tournament, Command and Conquer, and classic junk like Asteroids.

 

I remember thinking that GTA 2 was the greatest game ever... at the time.

it was unlike anything else I had played.

I have been around to play them all, I was a little late for the first ever release in 1997, but not that late. I was about 6 I think.

I doubt I can still remember but that's probably early 2004. My first Grand Theft Auto game I played was GTA Vice City and grew to love the 80's. It was also the game that introduced me to heavy metal music.

I first played the old-school top-down GTAs that my cousin had around 2000-ish, and didn't think much of them. Then a couple years later, I was over at his house and he showed me the fully 3d-and-third-person-view GTA3, and my mind was blown. Got my own copy and played the sh*t out of that game. Still do, as a matter of fact, except as I found out last summer I can now play it on my phone. My mind was blown again.

First saw it at my mum's friend's house. My mum's friend's boyfriend was playing GTA 2, and he let me have a go. This was around 2000. I loved it and kept asking my parents to get me it. My dad got me it for the PC because I only had a N64. For some reason the accelerator button wouldn't work, so I had to reverse everywhere like a chump. I remember I always used to go to the south east of the map for the tank. Eventually I got a Playstation, and had GTA and GTA 2 on it. Had every game since then except for Advance and CTW.

 

Aaah nostalgia.

Probably about 2002 or 2003, I was incredibly young at this time, we're talking way under 10 here! I started out with GTA: London 1969 on PS1 then moved on to GTA III and probably played Vice city for the first time in late/mid 2003. My first memory of a GTA game actually releasing being very young was Sanandreas in 2004. I remember my older brother buying the silver edition PS2 to play it, such fond memories.

They need to bring back the fart and burp button. It'd add a whole new dimension of game play.

Damn, I started playing GTA in 1998 on PlayStation. I remember how much I loved playing that game. The one downside was that whenever you were under a bridge or tunnel, you couldn't be seen. I honestly don't remember if there were choppers in the game that would lose you if you were under a bridge. Dang, now I want to play it again! Haha!
