Grand Theft Auto coming to PocketPC?

[Matt Keys]

I have been dieing to tell you guys about this one, but I do not need to hold my silence any more.

"Five years after its first release, Grand Theft Auto is coming back in all its glory. Hoping to bring the classics back in style, Rheyder Games have licensed the source code to Grand Theft Auto in an effort to bring its action to all ranges of PocketPC's. Much of the work has been done, and we expect a working demo to be available at the end of May. The game will retail for $19.99 and will be available for purchase through Handango.com following the demo's release. Sorry but no website just yet, I have been working with PocketMatrix to get a hosting solution worked out.

I have been a beta tester for GTA for a couple weeks now, and thanks to Aaron I can share with you some screenshots:

why does it say escape and enter on the first one?

Like I said, I have been beta testing it, most of their work so far has been spent getting all of the graphics glitches out. I think that you will see the first "polished" version sometime in may, according to Aaron it will be towards the end of may. At the moment the buttons are all hardcoded for an ipaq, and being that I have a casio E-200, it isn't the best setup for me. But I have been told that user defined buttons are on the list for features.
