GTA2 Manager.exe needed

send it plz

[Leon]

That should've been installed with the rest of the game's files. Try reinstalling it and then message me if it still doesn't work.

[Mazenger]

I don't have the CD of the games, if u have the game just send me that file, and it will work.

[wildgoosespeeder]

I'm reviving this thread because I'm wondering what this game is. :confused:

[Red_Cracker]

Grand theft auto?

[Jayenkai]

:eek: You didn't know what GTA was?! :eek:

Maybe Blitzwise should do a quicky GTA game, next ;)
(blitwise.. sorry, I code in BlitzBasic!! very easy to make that mistake!!)

This is a very warez-y topic!

[Leon]

Grand Theft Auto 2 is actually available as freeware at the Rockstar website.

[wildgoosespeeder]

Well that explains a lot. I never played it because when the first game came out, I wasn't allowed to play it. Now I am allowed but now I have no reason to play it.

[Leon]

Yeah, sequels ruin everything. :)

[wildgoosespeeder]

No, not that. I just find intense violence and stealing in a video game very degrading to a video game company. Nintendo rarely makes games like that.

[Jayenkai]

But that's the thing, isn't it..

GTA isn't "The running around and shooting and stealing" game.

GTA is the "OMG, this game is something different" game.
It's the "Shoot a copper, get into a cop chase, do huge jumps in a car, and see how far you can get before you're dead" game.
It's the "drive around aimlessly for no reason whatsoever" game.
It's the "Try to make the biggest explosion you can, without using any weapons!" game.

It's not about "Grand Theft Auto" if you don't play it like that. It's more a great big fun plaything.

[wildgoosespeeder]

I don't even know where to begin knocking some sense into you...nothing personal, but you really need to get back to reality. Try doing that in real life and see what you'll "unlock" next.

[Red_Cracker]

I got a trip to the princble's office when i tried.:o (No not really)

[Jayenkai]

I don't even know where to begin knocking some sense into you...nothing personal, but you really need to get back to reality. Try doing that in real life and see what you'll "unlock" next.

I don't try that in reality.
The same way that I don't try to eat mushrooms to grow twice my size.
The same way that I don't try to run around dark black and blue rooms eating yellow pills so that I can eat ghosts.
The same way that I don't try to wander around dressed as a dwarf, carrying a giant axe, slaughtering small animals.
And the same way that I don't try to sit atop a hill dressed as a tank, and throw deadly explosives at my friends.

To say you won't play a game because you wouldn't do it in reality is one of the most pathetic reasons to ever not play a game that I've ever heard.

It's only a game!!

And when it's one of the most wonderfully pieced together, sandbox type games since Elite...

Meh, whatever.

I enjoy it. That's good enough for me.

[wildgoosespeeder]

GTA isn't "The running around and shooting and stealing" game.

But that is exactly what it is!

GTA is the "OMG, this game is something different" game.

Oh, it's different alright, different in the "I got no real games" kind of way. Real games are family-friendly.

It's the "Shoot a copper, get into a cop chase, do huge jumps in a car, and see how far you can get before you're dead" game.

That's offensive to cops and that makes it as if cops are the bad guys in real life.

It's the "drive around aimlessly for no reason whatsoever" game.

Well this kind of game can make you get lost in your mind.

It's the "Try to make the biggest explosion you can, without using any weapons!" game.

How about we explode that game.

It's not about "Grand Theft Auto" if you don't play it like that. It's more a great big fun plaything.

There is nothing fun about shooting people, unless you are a twisted and evil person like Hitler was.

As for Grand Theft Auto in general, it isn't a family-friendly game. This forum is a family-friendly place. I have no idea why a Grand Theft Auto thread is even here.

[Rex Nex]

I must be twisted. I like Twisted Metal and 007 and GTA, and Doom. Omg I am soo twisted...

Dude, im on Jayenkai side. Its a game, your like those guys on tv who say Games will change the way kids think :/

[wildgoosespeeder]

The ESRB rated Grand Theft Auto M (Mature) for a very good reason. Little kids growing up playing these games without any parental guidance tend to think it's real and will try to mimic such behaviors, well maybe not with a gun, but from what I saw, maybe a baseball bat. They don't think of the complexity of the game. On the other hand, adults who play the game previously know that it isn't real. It is in the computer universe where things will be reset if you fail. In real life, you got one shot to survive and if you fail to survive, your life is over for good.

[minmay]

...you saw a kid trying to shoot someone with a baseball bat?

[wildgoosespeeder]

No. I meant to say that the main character uses a baseball bat as a weapon to kill people or stun them.

[minmay]

Oh. So you've seen kids...running around whacking people with baseball bats?
Boy, no wonder we're always so ready to buy the overpriced candy that they sell for school projects.

[wildgoosespeeder]

I'm just using that as an example. The keyword is "maybe". I never seen it happen, but a kid who thinks he's invincible in a game and in real life while he was exposed to the game might do that.

[Leon]

That's why it all comes down to the parents. If they'll just teach the kid the difference between right and wrong (and the consequences of doing what's wrong), he/she can play a horribly violent and inappropriate game with no effect.

Case in point: Japan. They produce and consume all sorts of things that would strike an average person blind on the spot, but their murder rate per capita in 2004 was less than one-tenth of New York's.

[wildgoosespeeder]

When kids play a bad game, they forget their reality and substitute the video games environment. The old reality is teaching the kid right from wrong and the new reality is the game telling them it is ok to hurt people and steal because if you get caught by police, you will start at the last save point to hurt people and steal. Kids love to be stimulated. If the bad video games serves that purpose, they will keep that idea to keep them feeling stimulated by acting it out.

[ekoz]

no, i'm sorry goose, but i'm with them. (we still freinds?) see th problem isn't the video games. i can bet you half to three quarters of the pop. here play at least two violent video games. i know for a fact that i play GTA3, beat almost all FF games, halo, COD4,and that zombie game loofiloo brought to the forums, survival crisis z. (for some reason, the game freezes when i beat the 1st exit mission. help?) anyway, you don't see people mimic games because they reason that because it's good in a game, it's good in real life. the only reason that was brough up by people is because it's much easier to blame an inatimate object then something that kicks and screams. the problem is the family, freinds, and how people react to those people. mm, time for a famous ekoz scenario!

scenario: there is a kid. all his life his parents beat him if he didn't do good. because of this, he thought that it was natural for people to be beat if they didn't do good, because there was a REAL LIFE EXAMPLE of it happening. so when he grew up, he beat his kids. no there was another kid, who was just a normal kid, but he played GTA. he saw the violence in the video game, but he didn't mimic it. why? because humans naturally mimic each other.

97% OF CRIMES ARE COMITTED BY PEOPLE WHO WERE MISTREATED AS CHILDREN! see, video games aren't the problem. it's just a convienient excuse to not have to blame anyone.

[wildgoosespeeder]

no, I'm sorry goose, but I'm with them. (we still friends?)

Yes, we are. :o

A lot of this discussion is opinion. You probably have been raised allowed to play these games. I was not allowed. I have learned that they are a bad influence on kids over time. They should play gemes that suit their age group or below, according to the ESRB ratings.

[Red_Cracker]

Well, i can't play R games but i own COD3.

[Jayenkai]

Just to but in, and apologies if this all goes sour again, but..
My initial point wasn't that kids should play it.. It was that you said you were old enough to play it, now, and that I thought you should try it at least once.

At no point in time would I consider this a "Game to give to kids!"
In fact, I'd go so far as to have my GTAs stashed away in a drawer, and not alongside my other games, so that any visiting kids don't get to play it.

My point was.. Give it a go!! You won't instantly murder someone, but you will get to experience what is, IMHO, a type of game that no bedroom coder could ever get anywhere near coding. It's huge. From the basic "but good enough" physics engine, to the vastness of the game world..

[Zwaken]

I was born with the need to kill. No joke.







Ok, that was a joke.

[Rex Nex]

Video games have nothing to do with violence....

[ekoz]

exactly.
