The funny thing about the “utterly pointless” limted edition was that it featured a CD (remember those?) of the game’s music, which struck me as odd because you could just use the game disc in the CD player I had. I guess some worked and some didn’t.
There’s likely a generation of people that think GTA didn’t exist before GTA4, its been 13 years since GTA5 and few people realise the team behind it is based in Scotland.
I will always have fond memories at GTA1. My friends and I would get to 5 stars wanted level and see how long we could last in the face of overwhelming odds. Not using the secret tank of course. Farting and burping whilst walking along was only funny for so long, but I never got tired of doing hand brake turns over pedestrians and smearing their blood across the ground.
GOURANGA!!!
Not sure why they chose that name for it. It’s really just a game plus x-pack bundle if I remember right. Just a better deal than buying the two separately. I might’ve even plucked it from a bargain bin (would’ve likely been the local Babbage’s, before GameStop took over) but it was so long ago for me to say with any certainty.
Quick edit: FuncoLand was another possibility, for anyone that remembers those. GameStop also gobbled up Electronics Boutique / EB Games but our mall never had one that I can recall.
