Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn Cool Christmas spirit stuff, I noticed on GGmania that Rockstar North is spreading the word that GTA2 (1999), their clasical action game, with neverending massacre of the native population, is now available as free download. You just need to visit http://www.rockstargames.com/classics to fill out the form and download the game (353MB) which includes install .exe, readme .txt file, and a .pdf of the original PC game manual) Word is: "This version of GTA2 is modified from its original version to enable support for modern PC's and current Microsoft Windows platforms. However, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that GTA2 will work correctly on your PC. Download, Installation and execution of this software is entirely at your own risk." In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design) furthered the groundbreaking gameplay concepts established just two years prior in the original Grand Theft Auto - with the release of GTA2. GTA2 expanded on the top-down, open-ended crime world gameplay formula with a host of new features including the advent of multiple rival gangs – seven, to be exact, including the Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, the Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile. Now, longtime Grand Theft Auto fans can revisit this classic entry in the series - and new jacks who missed out on this early franchise title can further discover Grand Theft Auto’s roots - absolutely free.
