Mindless violence will never be a thing of the past

During the '70s, if your parents caught you smoking, they'd make you smoke the whole pack. It would go one of two ways: either the lung and tongue overload would put you off smoking for life, or you'd hit the ground running and begin adult life with a 20-an-hour headstart over your peers.

You have made a mistake with your verdict.

There are 8 TV simulation modes to choose from and 18 TV color modes.
The TV color mode option is worth checking out as it completely changes the look of the game.

Microsoft made a so called pricing mistake according to the dev on Twitter. Would love to know if he was reimbursed!

For real? That's crazy, wonder what gave him the idea to attempt to recreate GTA with 8bit graphics! I'm actually quite impressed, this guy is a genius. Makes the game even more intriguing.
