Me and my cousin used to see who could outrun the cops the longest in GTA (original). It was the best way to share the game when family was visiting, as it never took long between turns and it kept everyone engaged.

Years later we were talking about the game and all the missions at a family function. Another cousin, who had owned the game himself, piped up with “what missions?”

He had watched us playing and thought that was the whole game.

I used to do that too. Put in cheats to unlock all the levels and such, then just cause all sorts of carnage. Or the opposite; trying to drive/act normal and see how long it takes you to crack and turn to a life of crime. A few times me and a friend would pick a place on the map (usually really far away) and then drive there, coming up with a narrative as to why we were going to that specific place on the way. When we got there, we'd pass the controller over to the other person and repeat.

Also, when I was younger, with the early Doom games, I'd pick ultra violence, put on a load of cheats (invincibility, all weapons, clipping) and just walk around killing all the monsters. I had no interest in trying to complete the game properly.

Int GTA3, I completed 3 missions and killed 30,000 people.
