First GTA on PC, didn't play too much of it. Then I heard GTA3 was coming to PS2, and I didn't know how big of a deal it might be. I just thought 'maybe that will be cool'. At that time I had traded my PS2 in and was only PC gaming. I rebought a PS2 and GTA3 and I was amazed by it. Played most of the GTAs since.

My older brother went out and bought GTA1 on the PC way back when. He certainly wasn't 18 then by a longshot, so I might have been around 10 or even younger when I first played it. I don't think I really understood the mission structure, or at least wasn't too good for a long while, so I would just go on killing sprees. I needed cheats to access the other two cities.
He also borrowed GTA London a few years later. I still recognise songs from the soundtrack when I hear them and get all nostalgic.

Oh, I first misread the topic and thought it said GTAIV. I was going to answer with March 29th, 2008. I believe that was the release date. Anyway, I believe I played one of the old top-down GTA games on PS1 long ago, but only for a couple minutes and never really got into it. Then came GTA3, which didn't hold my interest long. I wasn't crazy about the core game and getting into trouble and using cheats was only fun for so long. Then came Vice City, and man, even though GTA3 let me down, I was excited about it. I thought it was looking great and I was so excited that I even had my parents get it launch day for me while I was at school. It was going to be a birthday present. My PS2 had broke like a month or so before then, so I had it sent in for repairs, and it actually came back the day Vice City came out. So my parents let me play the gift early. I wasn't immediately blown away by it, but after getting over a few rough edges, I completely fell in love. It's my favorite GTA game and my 2nd favorite game of all time. I've been a huge GTA and Rockstar fan ever since.

Way back in 1998 with the first game in the series. Picked up the London packs too. Though I didnt really get into part 2 after playing it once or twice. Since then I liked GTA 3, loved Vice City, ADORED San Andreas and mildly tolerated GTAIV. Such a disappointment for me.
