The '''GTA 1 Era''' refers to three [[Grand Theft Auto]] games: [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]].
 
These games are grouped together into an [[era]] mainly because they use the same game engine ([[top-down perspective]]), have the same aesthetics, follow the same game structure and have interlinking characters, locations ([[London]] for example) and storylines. This is also known as the first generation of GTA games from 1997 to 1999.

[[Grand Theft Auto 1]] is set in [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]], [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] in 1997. These renditions of the cities are vastly different from their more well-known counterparts in the [[GTA III Era]]. In the game, the player can choose from one of about six [[protagonist]]s, and even change their names. It begins with only one level to choose from.
