GTA3 Poorly Optimized for the PC. Are all GTA's this bad?

Are GTA 3, VC, and San Andreas better to play on the PS2 and Xbox instead of the PC?

 

GTA 3 is absolutley horrendous to play on the PC. Even with Steam. Some of the controls are broken, the menus are faded and I can't see any of the options

Never had any problems with either of those games on PC. You have to keep in mind that these are old games and may or may not run well with newer systems/drivers. In any case, you can always ask for help here.

The menu screens for the Steam version are invisible at times.

Have you set the Frame Limiter in the options to 'Off'? If so, try switching it on and see if that fixes the issue.

Also try deleting the 'gta3.set' file from the 'GTA 3 User Files' folder in Documents and launching the game.

 

Have you tried anything so far to try and fix it?

Deleting the set file fixed it.
