Grand Theft Auto: London 1969

To do:

Extend the article. This is a bit unfinished, to be honest.
Check the PlayStation port, does it have anything of interest? And what about London 1961?
A prototype exists. We have an image of the disk here.

Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 is an expansion pack of the original Grand Theft Auto set in 1960s London, developed by Rockstar Canada.

Debug Mode#

Start a new game with any character but change the character's name to ROMMEL. A set of debug commands will be available in the game.

If you quit the game, this debug mode will not work when you play the game again. You have to delete the player's name and enter it again to reactivate it.

Core debug controls:

Key	Effect
R	Restart level
C	Show coordinates
F12	Change screen

Camera controls:

Key	Effect
D	zoom in, aerial camera
[	zoom out, aerial camera
L	zoom in, ground camera
K	zoom out, ground camera

Key	Effect
8	move camera up
2	move camera down
6	move camera right
4	move camera left

Extra:

Key	Effect
D	Saves a screenshot as a .tga file.

Alternate Graphics Set#

Like the original game, London 1969 has two graphic sets and was developed for both, Windows and DOS. The 8 bit "low colour version" is for worse computers. It makes the game look more, muddy.

To do:
provide the image for the low color mode

Unused Weapon#

To do:
Provide the image for the petrol bomb.

Also like the original, there is reference to a "Petrol Bomb". It has a graphic as well as an entry in enguk.txt.

Unused graphics#

To do:
document the unused graphics like the barricade

Internal Project Name#

The EXE file for Windows (not the DOS versions) contains the following strings as part of unstripped debug data.

gta2.exe

e:\gta\gtawin\gta2.exe

D:\version.115\source\WINO\gta\Debug\gta2.pdb

Although the second game and this were being developed at about the same time, this suggests either the team developing London probably planned to call the game GTA2, or GTA2 was an internal code name.

Leftovers#

Plenty of leftovers from the original Grand Theft Auto.
