Hello! We have another double-bill for you today. For the retrospective, there’s a look back at the original Grand Theft Auto, released in 1997 and covered here in 2004.

Hi there. We have another anniversary double-bill for you today. First, there’s a retrospective look at TOCA Touring Car Championship, released in 1997 and first covered here in 2004.
