| Maybe they "accidentally" released GTA3. GTA3 zipped is 150-200MB. |

The way freeloader compressed their files was weird...I'm not sure why exactly though.
Amro: I've heard the GTA 3 warez copy doesn't come with text.
Orbitman2099: Thanks for posting here, but I actually found that out on a different board. I didn't know GameSpy had it 'til you posted about it, though.
John the Ax: It might be, but I sort of doubt it....I'm not sure why. I just do.
Perhaps they didn't zip it or anything, and just put it in a folder and hosted it....that would be pretty stupid to do though. |

Yeah, fileplanet.com wouldn't host it.
I'm not sure, I doubt it's spyware too. |

Me sticks my legit copy of GTA1 in the drive-
633 files
34 folders
80.5 MB
Me sticks my legit copy of GTA London 1969 in the drive-
227 files
10 folders
70.7 MB
Plus there's the downloadable London 1961 add on-
6.83 MB
So that's nearly 160 MBs if the download included all the extras. Can't see why it'd be 300 megs? Something wrong there...
I recommend playing the game in DOS glide if at all possible. The VESA modes are okay but it's a glide game. Even GTA2, which used the same game engine poorly ported to Direct3D, ran better on a Voodoo card in "3dfx" mode. At 800x600 in glide it looks and plays far better than in VGA, VESA or indeed than it does on the PlayStation (no surprise there then  ).
I've played all the GTA series through several times. The original game is only surpassed by GTA3 and, as anyone who's played that can tell you, that's some praise indeed! The original is a bit clunky and weird but it's an absolute classic that I still play from time to time.  |

I don't know if we can do that, as this version is for, not only Windows, but it has been "optimized" for WinXP and the other newer Windows. I think that's why it's so big....the "optimization". |

| NAh. They would just recompile it for that. But 300MB? Maybe they added levels and bonus crap and some sounds... maybe even movies. |
