Grand Theft Auto Mission Pack #1: London, 1969 is a mission pack, or expansion pack, to Grand Theft Auto. GTA: London was released in 1999 for DOS, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. The game uses the same game engine as Grand Theft Auto, thus giving the game graphics reminiscent of the aforementioned game, and the gameplay and game mechanics are also very much alike those found in GTA. Like GTA the mission pack is divided into sub-sections with short cutscenes in between.
Instead of fictional locations based on real-life cities as featured in the original Grand Theft Auto (Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City), the game takes place in London, England in 1969, as the title implies. The player once again enters the role of a criminal looking to work his or her way up the career ladder of organized crime.
The temporal setting has been exploited through a number of cultural and historical references, including the appearance of a mod/James Bond-like character, and the usage of stereotypical Cockney slang. In-game dialogue included such memorable lines as "Oi!, stop right there!", "You're nicked!" and "You're brown bread!" The cars drive on the left side of the road, as in the real London. An add-on mission pack, London, 1961 is available as a free download on GTA: London, 1969's official website.
