How about GTA2? That's by far the best game in the series! When are we going to get to play that one again?
It still works just fine for me as is. Just install it.
Yeah, it seems to have appeared again at some point. I'll need to learn how to run it on Linux, but it apparently should be possible indeed! Or maybe I'll find some place with a Windows computer to try it. Nice! :)
I wasn't aware this wasn't playable (then again, the same applies to the first game), but you may be interested in checking out spiritual sort of reboots like skillshot city?
Definitely not for me, but thanks for the suggestion.
Oh shit, I'm sorry. I first played it back when it was called called geneshift with my colleagues. We were led to this after discovering that GTA2 had a PVP mode, and we just wanted to dick around at lunch time together.
I hope you can get the original 2 working someday! Genuinely had no idea it was unplayable today :(
Oh, apparently Rockstar has made it playable again at some point. Nice! :)
...with a download from google drive. Yeah, no thanks. I'll pass.
Come on now, some of the best most sketchy things I've ever downloaded was from a Google drive, it's like a claw machine with an Xbox sitting in the back 9/10 times you get nothing 1/10 you get an Xbox box full of rocks 1/11 times you get an Xbox and realize no body wants Xbox anymore but on that 1/12th time you get the most epic thing the world has ever saw, that's just good math.
Of course Rockstar had nothing to do with it. We've seen how much that company cares for its own heritage with the """Definitive Editions""" of III, VC and SA.
