You work for Bubby, and also for Don "Bald Man" Sonetti. They have you do several jobs, ranging from stealing two taxis to killing the police chief.

Grand Theft Auto, now known as GTA1, was the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series. Many GTA games have been made since, such as GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 was made as an expansion pack for GTA1, and Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 was in turn an expansion pack for London 1969. Both of these games require the original GTA1.

Since GTA1 there have been many Grand Theft Auto games, see them all here.


Plot


Welcome To Paradise.

The Year Is 1997.

In the game, you can choose 1 of about 6 protagonists, and even change their names. You will start out with only one mission to choose from.

Liberty City

Gangsta Bang

You work for Bubby, and also for Don "Bald Man" Sonetti. They have you do several jobs, ranging from stealing two taxis to killing the police chief. One mission also involves a trap set by Sonetti, in the form of a bomb on a bus that will blow up if it gets below 50 mph (this was probably inspired by the movie Speed). Once you have enough points, Don Sonetti will want to speak to you. Apparently you double-crossed him, and you're a dead man if you do it again. Ironically, Sonetti is the one who double-crossed YOU.

Now you can replay that mission or move on.

Heist Almighty

Once again, you must do several jobs to beat the level. Right away, someone calls you saying their girlfriend, Sasha, has been kidnapped. You can rescue her, or you can ignore the mission or fail it and the cops will bring her in. Someone heard her scream in a trunk. Once you do a bunch of jobs and have enough points again, Bubby will ask you to come see him. Bubby will say you did a good job, but the cops are close enough to looking up his ass with flashlights looking for you. Bubby, however, booked you a flight to San Andreas.

Replay those two as much as you want, or move on.

San Andreas

Mandarin Mayhem

Now you've arrived in San Andreas. You work for Uncle Fu. Once you do enough work and get enough points, you can see the old man. He is building a crime cyndicate of extraordinary magnitude, and you honor his family.

Once again, replay or continue. Your choice.

Tequila Slammer

Now, you work for El Burro. Once you do enough jobs, please him, and get enough points, he'll ask you to come over to his place. You did good work for him, and he is grateful. Now he's going to return the favor. He's going to reward you personally this time.

Replay, continue, it doesn't matter.

Vice City

Bent Cop Blues

A cop named Deever calls you, and you screwed up somewhere. You work for him now. Following the same routine, once you get enough points, go see Deever. Deever is PISSED. If you cross him again, you're screwed for life... if you even have a life after.

Replay or continue.

Rasta Blasta

Now you work for Brother Marcus. Most jobs involve killing. Get enough points and see him. Brother Marcus is proud, and apparently you got the job done. He thinks you did a good job on that. Now he doesn't think he'll be seeing you for a long time.

Give yourself a pat on the back, replay any of those missions, quit the game, play multiplayer, do whatever. Due to the extremely high ammounts of points you had to get, you probably beat GTA III's storyline or GTA SA's storyline faster.

GOOD JOB AND CONGRATULATIONS!
