Gathering of Developers Urges Drivers to Get on the Wrong Side of the Road with Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 Mission Pack to Include Original Grand Theft Auto Game for Free Dallas, TX, March 15, 1999 - Yeah baby, its shagadelic! Developer-driven computer and video game publishing company Gathering of Developers announced today it will publish the Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 mission pack and Grand Theft Auto: Director's Cut for the PC. Grand Theft Auto: Director's Cut will include the London 1969 mission pack, as well as the original version of the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto chase game, which has sold more than 1.6 million copies on PC and PlayStation worldwide. The mission pack features all of Grand Theft Auto’s great gameplay souped-up with groovy attitude, hip music and tongue-in-cheek action set in London in the late 60’s. Developed by Rockstar Games, the mission pack game will cruise into stores nationwide in spring 1999 for .95. . Grand Theft Auto: Director's Cut will be available for .95. The Gathering acquired the Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 rights through its partnership with Take-Two Interactive’s Rockstar Games, a high-end video game publisher. “Grand Theft Auto was a huge success because it went beyond the conventional driving game by combining attitude and racy fun with great gameplay,” said Harry Miller, co-founder and president of Gathering of Developers. “Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 will once again get players addicted to this game of chase and debauchery.” “Ever since working on the original Grand Theft Auto I’ve wanted to create a version set in London,” said Sam Houser, president of Rockstar Games. “London in the sixties was slick, glamorous and cool but with an ever-present undercurrent of ultra-violence. With Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 we’re going let the rest of the world enjoy this era.” Set in the late 60’s, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 focuses on one of the coolest periods in the London underworld and parodies the cult TV and movies of the time. Sporting more than 30 new multi-stage missions, new characters and maps, a massive garage of 30 classic cars, and an incredible 60 minute period soundtrack featuring Ska and booty shaking music, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 also introduces players to all the beatniks, famous faces, themes, hippies, and criminals of 1960s British life. From the filth of the East End and the grand Georgian houses of Chelsea, to the murky Thames riverside and the West End landmarks, drivers will speed through London to complete their missions. Each mission requires the player to commit any number of wicked acts such as stealing cars, kidnapping, and fencing stolen goods in order to satisfy his master’s increasingly bizarre desires. As players progress they are drawn further into a nightmare criminal underworld filled with theft, killing, drugs, extortion and prostitution.
