It was a novelty game, mostly on the PC. I can remember the first time someone showed it to me, a bunch of us were watching and laughing. It was funny how you were the bad guy and could run over people and steal cars. The graphics were simplistic but kinda neat how the city would scroll... 2D but with depth. But that was it. It seemed like a fluff game that you could fool around with, chuckle, and be done with it. I'm actually shocked how big the series became. It really took off with Vice City. The real-world 80's theme was so unique for gaming at the time. It really appealed to non-gamers, and the ads were awesome with the Flock of Seagulls tune. That game was massive, EVERYONE knew what it was.
