I'm sorry but this is old news, Rockstar has had these available on their site for quite some time now. Good for people who didn't already know though.

Thanks for your threadcrap, now go away. I didn't know about this so I appreciate the update. I can't seem to download it though.

Why is his reply considered a threadcrap? He did state that it was "good for people who didn't already know though"; next time maybe you should read the entire post before "crapping" on it.

It was a threadcrap bc GTA 2 is just now recently available. If YOU had read te entire post you could have avoid crapping on it as well.

Is anyone else having difficulty connecting? I tried off an on all last night and its still not connecting for me this morning.

Looks like my post isn't the only thing that's "crap"...😉
 
can anyone who has it host it?
I've tried off-and-on for the past few days with no success... after entering my name/email/etc and click submit, it looks busy for awhile and then finally says "cannot find server".

I'm really more interested in "wild metal" than gta2

What does Wild Metal look like? I can't find any screenshots on their site.
Also they seriously need to make a Torrent for this.

Here's some pics of Wild Metal from ign.
I have it for the Dreamcast and it's OK (but hard, imo). The game got pretty mediocre reviews for the PC.
I'm hoping multi-player mode is acceptably fun.

After you've timed out as many times as I have, you'll be happy to finally see the EULA page
63.236.94.185/classics/gta2/eula.php
but that's not the end of it, once you acknowledge that, you'll time out a zillion more times until you FINALLY reach the actual download page
63.236.94.185/classics/gta2/gta2_dl.php?agree=on
THEN you'll have to wait for all 344MB to download at ~100KB/sec.....

but then you'll finally have the game!

Thanks for the link.... the last one is all that's needed. Downloading now!
Also, took a guess at what the link would be for Wild Metal and guessed right. Substituted "wmc" for "gta2" in the link and WoooHooo! Downloading both as I type this.

Hmm this looks more hopeful than trying through the actual page... now I'm actually getting a long wait time before the download... Thanks ttown for the confirmation of linkage 😀

I didn't like GTA2 as much. The first GTA rocked though, despite some fairly primitive graphics. I played that game for hours.

hasnt worked for me either...tried many times.
Try following "rsolomans" link that he posted about 8 posts up.
That's what I did, and it worked right away. (slow connecting, but it DID work on my first attempt)
Previous to that, I tried ~100+ times with no luck.
