GTA (Grand Theft Auto) is a computer game series originally designed by DMA in the mid-1990s. It contains 4 stand alone games.

The game's allow the game player to take on the role of a criminal in a city. Various missions are set for completion - such as bank robberies, assassinations, and other crimes.

There have been 4 sequels to the original GTA: Grand Theft Auto: London England 1969, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

GTA2 features better graphics and gameplay than the first installment, considering GTA1 was a DOS game, and GTA2 was made in windows. GTA3 is much more controversial than the previous two. Unlike the two former games in the series this game is fully 3D and provides the player with a 'third person view' rather than a 'top down view'. Vice City is set in a Miami-like city in the mid-1980s.


In American state law, grand theft is a felony, individual state penal codes define when larceny or theft misdemeanors become grand and therefore a felony. Generally the division is based on a monetary value and intent. A grand theft auto felony involves the taking of an auto from its owner with the intention of keeping the auto permanently. Removing parts or items from a vehicle is a misdemeanor. But both are again often related to monetary value, felony crimes are also subdivided into degrees relating to seriousness. For example in California the change is based around a dollar value of $400, although the term grand theft has actually been dropped - the crime is now CVC 10851.
