Grand Theft Auto , released in 1998, follows the story of a small-time criminal trying to make it big with the mob. The player's goal is to steal cars, complete jobs for gangsters, and behave generally anti-social to achieve success. Along the way, they'll interact with other characters, including those who can provide or hinder their progress.
The gameplay involves completing six levels spread across three cities: Liberty City (based on New York City), San Andreas (based on San Francisco), and Vice City (based on Miami). Each level requires reaching a certain score, which can be achieved by stealing cars, crashing into traffic, driving over pedestrians, killing cops, or completing jobs. The latter often involves answering phones, entering special cars, or participating in various missions.
However, the player's actions come with consequences: if policemen witness a crime, the player's wanted level increases, and they must evade capture. As the wanted level rises, so do the challenges. The game features a top-down perspective, allowing for a better overview of the cities while driving. The cities are vast and can be freely explored, with scattered crates containing items such as weapons, armor, and bonus items.

How to Play
Welcome to London
Beautiful, ain't it? No, it's a filthy sh*thole, where only those in the know survive. Me and me brother Archie have survived so long because we know everything that's going on, and we're the nastiest things to hit London since the Black Death. We are the Crisp Twins, and we ain't had our dinner. So don't mess, and nobody will get hurt.
You might think you're a tough guy, but those Yanks ain't worth a pint of p'ss. You're in London now, and what Albert (that's me) and Archie says goes. If you want to make a go of it over here, listen to what I tell you and do exactly as you are told. Otherwise, it won't be pretty.
Read the manual proper like, and then get to work. No messing about, and no squealing to the Law. Understood?
Getting Started
You've just made history by acquiring the world's first ever mission pack for PlayStation®. To play the game, you need a copy of the original game and must start it in the following way.
•
Ensure your PlayStation® is set up according to its instruction manual, with a controller plugged in, and a Memory card if you have one.
•
Ensure the power button is OFF before inserting your GTA: London 1969 disc. Then press the power ON.
•
The PlayStation® logo screen will then appear. A screen will then appear telling you to replace your GTA: London 1969 disc with your original GTA disc. (If the PlayStation® logo Screen or the ensuing disc swap Screen fail to appear, press the power button OFF: ensure your PlayStation® is set up correctly and the GTA disc is properly inserted before pressing the power button ON again).
•
Leaving your PlayStation® ON, remove the GTA: London 1969 disc, replace it with your original GTA disc, and close the Disc Cover on your PlayStation®.
•
Then, again following the onscreen prompt, and leaving your PlayStation® on, replace your original GTA game disc with your new GTA: London 1969 game disc.
•
Then close the Disc Cover on your PlayStation®, and the GTA: London 1969 title screen will appear. You can now play GTA: London 1969.
Remember, don't insert or remove the game disc while the power is ON, apart from during stages 4 and 5 outlined above. It is also recommended that you don't insert or remove peripherals or Memory cards once the power is turned on. Make sure you have enough free blocks on your Memory cards once the power is turned ON.
Loading A Saved Game
Insert a Memory Card with previously saved games into your Console. Select Load Game from the main menu and press the button. You will be presented with a list of saved games, unless the memory card is unformatted.
•
Use the Directional button to highlight the file you want to load and press the button.
•
When prompted to load a new game, press the button to confirm, or at any time to cancel.
•
To delete a previously saved game, press the button. The game will prompt to confirm the action; press the button to cancel or the button to confirm.
•
Press the button at any time to select a Memory Card in another Memory card slot.
Save A Game
You can save your progress from the Character Selection screen onto a Memory Card by pressing the button.
•
Enter a name for the saved game by using the Directional button to change the letters or press the button to delete a letter.
•
To delete a previously saved game, press the button. The game will prompt to confirm the action; press the button to cancel or the button to confirm.
•
Press the button at any time to select a Memory Card in another Memory card slot.
•
If an unformatted Memory Card is inserted, the game will prompt you to format the Memory Card. Press the button to confirm the prompt to format a Memory Card.
Options
From the Title Screen, select Options to call up five new options.
•
Use the EFFECTS and MUSIC options to change the volume balance of sound effects and music during play.
•
MUSIC Mode allows you to choose between RADIO (swinging '60s radio stations automatically change when you change cars, and vary depending on the taste of the vehicle's previous owner) and CONSTANT (the CD music plays from the first track straight through to the last).
•
Use TEXT to change the speed of text display during play.
Choosing Your Representatives
Before you get let loose on the streets of London, choose to play the part of one of four would-be hard men. These individuals will allow you to keep track of your ability to be a shining light to London's underworld, or at least keep your score, and see that we don't let you get too big for your boots. Understood?
How To Rule This City
I rule this city, with me brother Archie. You ain't worth nothing. Your pathway to the top begins, as mine once did, as a try-hard, a wannabe, loose on the streets of London and looking for ungainful employment. If you want to be a Face in this town, there's only two boys who count, me and me brother Archie. So when we say jump, you say "How high? And by the way, that suit looks great on you, Mr. Crisp." Understood?
