Video of the Day: '80s Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto gets an '80s redux (heroin for 20 bucks back then seems a little unrealistic, however). If you ever wondered what the game would have looked like on the original NES, this one's for you:

Undoubtedly "the most violent game on the original Nintendo, besides Duck Hunt." [via Kottke]

You're just mad because they're making money, and you're not. Furthermore, their "pathetic" programmers know a little more about programming than your average Joe Schmoe programmer working at some investment bank.

Exactly what the hell do you know about anything game related, let alone software related? Nothing?

First of all, GTA IV is Amazing! I thought it would suck cuase I hated all the previous ones but this is actually the closest we've gotten to actually living in a virtual world. I actually feel like I'm killing people in Grand theft Auto Iv. When I'm stabbing someone that person dies in a way that actually makes me feel bad. Second of All, this video sucks. The graphics are a little too good for an 8-bit game and it's College Humor. College Humor is family guy to Onion News South Park. they are just shitty and predictable.

I'm sick of this GTA BullSh!t Hype. This is the most Overrated game in the history of games. Its 90% similar to the last game and brings nothing new to the table.

This GTA Bullsh!t is just some 300 lbs virgins getting off on pretending they are hardcore criminals when in truth they wouldnt last 10 minutes in prison before drowning in a pool of their own tears for their mommies and committing suicide.

Screw GTA & especially its pathetic programmers
