One of the original creators of Grand Theft Auto has shared his pictures with the whole Internet.
Mike Dailly includes everything from early 3D visualisations for the renowned game to shots of the team clowning around and games that never made it past the conceptual stage.
"Mike Dailly, one of the originals from DMA has uploaded several photo sets to Flickr, showing the background daily life of DMA from the early '90s right through to the point the company became Gremloid/Rockstarred," said Brian Baglow, writer for GTA and general PR mouth.
Time for a history lesson: DMA Design created Grand Theft Auto, which was published in 1997 by the short-lived BMG label.
Gremlin bought DMA in the same year, and then Infogrames bought Gremlin in 1999. That same year, BMG was acquired by Take-Two and became an internal publisher by the name of Rockstar.
Infogrames later sold DMA to Take-Two, and Rockstar subsequently published Grand Theft Auto II.
It wasn't until 2002 that DMA finally became Rockstar North, the company we know it as now.
Head over to Flickr for the full Mike Dailly collection.

Shadow of the Beast - now that game (and its sequel) were as hard as f*cking nails.
Harder, in fact. In fact number two was soo hard, they gave you the cheat for god mode when you bought it, and yet you could still die in a variety of different ways. Back when games were played by real geeks, not these soft 'console' poofs nowadays.

Love this kind of thing, interesting to see how these things develop. I've been 'documenting' the formation of the game and company I currently work for, you know, just in case! ;)

Just from looking at those GTA pics from the first game, I've gone all nostalgic. I've even got that mad tune from the title screen going round my head now.

I have heard much tell of that, but have never seen it. By all means put it on youtube. @Kiigan Surely Tom could do that with is hair even now if he just took the ponytail out? Perhaps that's what's really scary. |
