Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto is the landmark 1997 top-down action-adventure game developed by DMA Design and published by BMG Interactive Entertainment, casting the player as a criminal navigating three fictional open-world cities inspired by Miami, New York, and San Francisco. It is the founding entry in one of gaming’s most culturally significant franchises.

This original PAL release, dated 14 December 1997, is the UK launch edition within the eight catalogued PAL variants for the title. It is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with a Hologram B on the case and contains a single disc. The game supports English, French, German, and Italian. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs are included. A research note identifies this pressing as having white disc logo text, which distinguishes it from later pressings where the logo text differs in colour, making disc inspection a useful tool for variant identification. This is the primary UK original and the most straightforward starting point for collectors building a complete Grand Theft Auto PAL variant set.
