| [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] was made as an expansion pack for GTA, and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]] was in turn an expansion pack for London 1969. Both of these games require the original GTA disc to work.

| Grand Theft Auto 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 eight [[protagonist]]s, and even change their names. It begins with only one level to choose from.

| *'''Gangsta Bang'''

| | |
| The player works for [[Bubby]]. They have the player do several jobs, ranging from stealing two taxis to killing the police chief. One mission also involves a trap in the form of a bomb on a bus that will blow up if it gets below 50 mph (this was inspired by the movie [[wp:Speed (film)|Speed]]). Once the player has enough points, A mafioso will want to speak to them. Apparently the player double-crossed [[Sonetti|Bald Man Sonetti]], and is a dead man if it happens again.

| | |
| *'''Heist Almighty'''
| |
| | |
| Once again, the player must do several jobs to complete the level. Right away, Bubby calls saying "Sasha" has been kidnapped (failing the mission will reveal that Sasha is actually the boss' puppy). The player can choose to rescue her, or fail it and the cops will bring her in. Someone heard her scream in a trunk. Once the player does some jobs (including killing Sonetti) and has enough points again, Bubby will ask the player to come see him. Bubby will say the player did a good job, but the cops are close enough to look up his ass with flashlights. Bubby, however, booked the player a flight to San Andreas.

| *'''Mandarin Mayhem'''
| |
| | |
| Now the player has arrived in San Andreas. The player works for [[Uncle Fu]]. Once the player does enough work and gets enough points, they can see the old man. He is building a crime syndicate of extraordinary magnitude, and the player honors his family.
| |
| | |
| *'''Tequila Slammer'''
| |
| | |
| Now, the player works for [[El Burro (GTA 1)|El Burro]]. Once the player does enough jobs, pleases him, and gets enough points, he'll ask them to come over to his place. The player did good work for him, and he is grateful. Now he's going to return the favor. He's going to reward the player "personal" this time.

| Apart from that, the player is free to do whatever they want. The player can just explore the city, cause death and destruction, or steal and sell cars for profit, although completing a level will almost certainly require the completion of missions. Even in missions there is still some freedom, as usually the player is free to choose the route to take, although the destination is usually fixed. This level of freedom was not found in most action-based computer games at the time. However, the player is given limited lives so free roaming is, somewhat limited, if the player isn't careful. | | Apart from that, the player is free to do whatever they want.
