Was there ever a arcade game for this because I wanted to know was it ever in the arcades?

out of interest, given how many missions there are in the GTA games, how would you envision an arcade port to work?
either it's cheap and the players buy so many lives that only a few people get to play because the games go on for ages, or you die having done about 1% of the game.

An arcade version of GTA really wouldn't work.
They'd have to get rid of the original missions and replace them with about 3 or 4 "challenges" which each take about 10 minutes to complete. I dunno, something like "kill the rats" where the aim is to race around shooting up gangsters who wired to the feds. Or something along those lines.
To be honest though, a GTA game in the arcades would never happen because of the moral outcry that would be sure to follow. "How can they let our youth play such filth in public?!".

hehe, you just took a daily mail headline and added the words "in public" didn't you? :)

like what?
Well I ment with gore,for example house of dead. That had so much gore that blood even splatted over the screen,when you blew a zombies head off.
that's NOTHING like GTA.
the outcry about GTA was because of the content of the game, not the blood.
i hardly think anyone would be offended by House of the Dead... unless you're aware of some zombie civil rights groups that i'm not? :)
anyways the point is, encouraging people to cause a flying zombie to die is VASTLY different to encouraging players to cave someones face in with a baseball bat. i'm fairly sure there are more idiots with baseball bats in the world than there are zombies.

Yeah but there are some games when you can get weapons to hit people with.
Crossbob, shut up. GTA would not work on an arcade machine.

GTA 1 or 2 wouldn't work on an arcade machine?
You're having a laugh.
