''Multi Theft Auto'' was first released under the name/acronym ''GTA3AM'' (''GTA III'' Alternative Multi-player) on February 8, 2003. This allowed two people to play ''GTA III'' against each other after pressing a key combination (ALT+F12). Only in-vehicle play was supported at the time; when outside the vehicle the user was invisible to the other player. | ''Multi Theft Auto'' was first released under the name/acronym ''GTA3AM'' (''GTA III'' Alternative Multi-player) on February 8, 2003.
