From GTA 2 to GTA 6 – A Gamer’s Journey

Sometimes a video game becomes more than just entertainment — it becomes a memory of an entire period of life.

My journey with Grand Theft Auto started many years ago, during my teenage years.

At that time, my first introduction to the GTA world was through GTA 2 and later GTA 3. For us, those games felt incredible. The freedom, the open world, the missions — everything felt new and exciting.

A few days later, we discovered something even more interesting:

GTA Vice City had arrived in the market.

Everyone was talking about it. The game looked better, the world was bigger, and the atmosphere of the 1980s made it even more exciting.

But unfortunately, there was one problem.

At that time my computer was only a Pentium II, and it simply couldn’t run GTA Vice City properly. Watching others talk about it while not being able to play it myself was frustrating.

Then one day everything changed.

I finally got a Pentium IV computer. That moment felt like a big upgrade in life. The first thing I did was install GTA Vice City.

Playing it for the first time was unforgettable.

The city, the music, the missions — everything felt amazing. For a teenager at that time, it was pure excitement.

Then in 2004, Rockstar released another legendary game:

GTA San Andreas.

That game became one of the most iconic titles in gaming history. The massive map, the story, the characters, and the freedom of gameplay made it unforgettable for an entire generation of players.

Years passed, technology changed, and many GTA games came and went.

Now, many of us are waiting for the next chapter.

All eyes are on GTA VI.

Many fans hope it might finally arrive in 2026, but honestly, no one knows for sure. Maybe it will come this year, maybe later.

But one thing is certain:

For those of us who started with GTA 2 and GTA 3, every new GTA release feels like revisiting a piece of our youth.

From old Pentium computers to modern gaming systems — the journey has been long.

And we are still waiting for the next adventure.
