Grand Theft Auto 1

TCW Podcast Episode 151 - Grand Theft Auto 1   We start our look at the legendary game series Grand Theft Auto.  A game series that had many influences that came out of the British PC market.  The game may not have seen the light of day if it was not for developers and executives championing the game to BMG Interactive.  With the help of a PR campaign to stir up false controversy that lead to a speech denouncing the game to the House of Lords, the game launched to modest success!  Though the best is yet to come as Rockstar gears up to release Grand Theft Auto 2 and 3!   Menace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM8r8Nn-fxU Lemmings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuiyFXMjGxA Uniracers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ5sR5Gui6U Red's Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96xGUa1a_zs Body Harvest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkw4Jpr0lDw Space Station Silicon Valley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX-GdHNoRRQ Syndicate Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7saA60qM4H4 Clockwork Knight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c3reFAM0QI Race N' Chase Design Document: https://www.gamedevs.org/uploads/grand-theft-auto.pdf Grand Theft Auto 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0TLzxpmHE0 Lord Campbell of Croy: https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1997/may/20/grand-theft-auto-computer-game Get Carter Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV4XrUDBlfM The Warriors Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--gdB-nnQkU You Don't Know Jack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CDMOTyCpp4 Hell A Cyberpunk Thriller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM6Qu2kIXVU Grand Theft Auto PSX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02kMHWKaMg8   TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ TCW 083 - The Silliwood Era now in FMV!: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-silliwood-era-not-in-fmv/ TCW 049 - Old and Elite: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/old-and-elite/   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
