Grand Theft Auto, now known as Grand Theft Auto 1 (from the first era of GTA games) is a video game released for the original Sony PlayStation, the PC and the Game Boy Color. Grand Theft Auto 1, it's "mission packs" and Grand Theft Auto 2 are distinguishable because they did not make use of 3D graphics, high resolution textures nor did they utilize rendering engines that come even close to mimicking real life physics, as the technology for such programming to work alongside a game as big as GTA did not exist until the development and release of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001.
Gameplay
The game utilizes Grand Theft Auto's trademark "sandbox style" game layout. The player is free to do what he or she want's within the city limits, although the completion of "missions" is necessary to earn money and to advance the storyline to the point where different parts of the map and different cities within the game are unlocked.
The player has the option of choosing between eight characters, four male and four female. All of them have largely the same appearance. The player has the option of naming their character to suit their personal tastes. Cheat codes are inputted by entering certain names. Like all other Grand Theft Auto games, cheat codes can be used to make dramatic and sometimes strange changes in gameplay and ease difficulty (i.e: infinite health, $250,000 dollars cash).
Ports
The Game Boy Color version was ported to the handheld platform with surprising technical achievements. Very little changes were made to the game aside from censorship of objectionable content (profanity, blood and gore). The graphics were technically untouched from the PlayStation and PC versions. This would usher in a new high for a handheld platform with extremely limited hardware capability and a resource-choked storage medium, as the Game Boy and all it's counterparts prior to the Game Boy Advance used a small cartridge limited to 256 kb, 512 kb, 1 Mb, 2 Mb, 4 Mb and 8 Mb of storage space.
