    I didn't know why random, half-naked women got in my car...

    And I didn't get why my health bar was increasing whenever she was there with me.

    I played GTA 2 when I was 9. I couldn't get enough of the flame thrower kill frenzy.

    My cousins brought GTA and GTA London 1969 round when London came out so I was probably around 9 or 10... I just loved using the rocket launcher.

    My parents were always really picky about the games I played. -.-

    I never had a GTA until San Andreas came out (which was the best anyway )

    Anyway, I convinced my parents that they had made the games much less violent and X-Rated, and eventually got bought the game for my birthday.

    One day I was playing on the game, and nipped to the bathroom. Whilst I was in the bathroom, my dad decided to play on my 'innocent' GTA, and was also confused as to why my character was carrying a shot gun and had hookers trying to lure me into sex. Needless to say, the game got confiscated before I got back to my room -.-

    It's amazing until you hit something too close to you and it sends you flying to your death.

    22. I got it in 1999. I think it premiered in 1997, maybe '96.

    My favourite thing to do was to park several cars next to each other, destroy one of them with a rocket launcher and watch them all explode. But it was so frustrating when some of the cars disappeared cause you moved too far away.

    Just before I visited a prostitute and then killed her to get my money back. I'm sure there's no causation.

    LOL. Could they not tell from the cover (and the 18 certificate) that it wasn't quite suitable for kids? :P
