Classic GTA Games: Cheats, Characters, Maps and History

This hub covers the Grand Theft Auto games released between GTA III in 2001 and GTA IV in 2008, plus the handheld spin-offs that filled the gaps between them. It is built for players returning to Liberty City, Vice City or San Andreas after years away, and for anyone picking these games up for the first time through the modern re-releases.
