I lingered around online forums, created “guides” on crappy and now defunct blog sites. I saved up for an Xbox, went to midnight launches, and became firmly embedded into the game culture at the time.

The series also got me into gaming again. The Grand Theft Auto series has always been somewhat liberating for me, but it was especially so during my teenage years when I always felt 10 years older than I actually was. If only they knew: Vice City, like its predecessor, was an anarchic blend of chaos and freedom. My love affair exploded into a passionate obsession, one that actually, literally confused and concerned by parents, who just couldn’t understand why I was spending upwards of 10 hours on a weekend playing “just a stupid video game”. Really, it was the console that would bring Grand Theft Auto into my living room.īy the time I got my hands on a PS2, GTA: Vice City had hit store shelves. Once I managed to convince them that VHS was on the way out and that DVD was the future, I was well on my way to owning “the best DVD player on the market”, as I called it.

It took me a few months to convince my parents to buy a PS2, eventually compromising to work with my dad for a few weeks to raise some funds: it wasn’t so much about having the money to buy it myself, but rather to return the favour for them purchasing what was, at the time, a very expensive piece of hardware.

My love affair with the series was official, and it would continue well into the decade, all the way through to Grand Theft Auto V. My earliest memory of the series is using a cheat to spawn a tank, and then proceeding to cause havoc in downtown Liberty City (which at that point I thought was just a generic video game city). That changed, of course, when my friend brought out the newly-released Grand Theft Auto III, and what eventuated was several hours of mindless fun and open-world shenanigans, the likes of which I’d never experienced in a game before that eventful afternoon. Up to that point, Sega’s last console was my last gaming purchase, and I was yet to invest in anything gaming related for well over two years.

I’d gone through somewhat of a gaming lull over the few years prior, having not fallen for the PS2 hypetrain following the Dreamcast’s fall from grace. My love affair with Grand Theft Auto began with a spontaneous trip to a friend’s house on a lazy afternoon in late 2001. On June 8 when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas finally hits Xbox One backwards compatibility, the game will be eyeing off its 14th birthday.
