omigawail 479 Posted March 7 (edited) This is the wrong channel for this type of discussion but kind of. Race'n'chase IS the GTA1, a very early prototype of the game. Edited March 7 by omigawail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason 15,036 Posted March 7 If I remember right the story goes that Race'n'Chase was the original game, a racing game with police chases and stuff but people found the police chases more fun than the racing. That idea evolved into GTA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolver_321 367 Posted March 7 (edited) From what I know Race'n'Chase was a game where you were ment to drive a police car for stopping criminals. During the development DMA Design dicovred a bug in a mission that let the player play as a criminal who has to escape from police. Apparently developers had a lot of fun playing around with this glitch, so they decided to use Race'n'Chase's existing assets for a new project: that project, of course, would have been Grand Theft Auto. Wasn't DMA Design very connected to Nintendo in the '90? I heard somewhere that the 1st GTA should have been a Nintendo 64 exclusive but, due to some misunderstanding with the big N for a game called Body Harvest (N64 exclusive), DMA decided to make its projects available on other platform too. If you want a complete version of the story (with also some former DMA developers), I highly suggest you to watch this video: Edit: I didn't know about this video, again Game Brain talked with some ex DMA developers... Quite an interesting story this one too: Edited March 7 by Wolver_321 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
