Thanks Solarix for this one.

Rockstar Games has come up with the great idea to add Grand Theft Auto to their Classics list. Not only that, but now it has also been released as free download! The game has been altered to be played on the latest systems with the newer platforms such as Windows XP.

News source: Fileplanet
Download: Grand Theft Auto (328Mb)



    Western Quake³ Features List
  • A full arsenal of weapons with historically correct design. Check the weapons page for more information.
  • A big variety of "western styled" maps and player models.
  • A realistic damage system with different locations (head, chest...) and increased falling damage.
  • New "Western styled" gametypes for more fun (like Bank Robbery, Duel...) and a single player (playable in cooperative multiplayer) with a story and missions with different goals.
  • A Money System implying equipment purchase with money from rewards.
    Different character classes having different abilities.
  • New "easy-to-use" graphical User Interface and HUD.
  • Other small improvements for a better and funnier gameplay.

Whenever I try to run the setup program I keep recieving the error message: Title: Can't run 16-bit Windows Program Cannot find the file C:tempGTAINSTALLERSETUP.EXE (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available. This problem has occured in the past for me, but it only occured when the folder name was too long, and in this case it's not working Are there any services in windows xp pro, that are responsible for this, did I disable anything by mistake? Thanks, Evolution

Not sure, did you try running it in compatibility mode?

Alternatively, the whole game has been available on http://www.freeloader.com for a couple of years. It's all legal for those of you who don't know the site, and the download is a lot less than 328MB. So I'm not sure what the difference is, but the whole game is definitely there.

Thats the original copy and its a pain in the ass, in fact impossible for me to get it running on 2K/XP. Freeloader also isn't free anymore

#5, no, there's no services that would prevent it from working. Probably a bad download. Try it again and see.

I think you should add a link to the official page where this was released - http://www.rockstargames.com/classics

Any guesses to the next game released under Rockstar Classics? I'm willing to bet on GTA: London 1969...
