THE 90's Podcast - S05-E04 - Grand Theft Auto (DOS) (1997)

John and Gregg return to talk about a video game that lead to a series of games, which are proudly banned in Brazil. The original Grand Theft Auto. See how this humble little cops and robbers game, turned into a mega franchise overnight. We look at the weird inspirations for the game, as well as some of the subtle quirks that made it stand out from others.

We also have a word or 2 on Gregg’s other music project Beta 47, update on our current streaming status, and some other bits and nonsense.

A Big Thank you to Gregg for taking part. If you wish to learn more about friends of the show The Hollow Decks, which features Gregg, check out their links below.
