After 7 years in development, the most exciting Grand Theft Auto total conversion mod sets its sights on an August showcase
First conceived by creator deltaCJ in 2018, GTA 1991 began life as a hobbyist slant on the often rumoured, but never officially acknowledged, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories.
As a prequel to Carl Johnson's Grove Street exploits, the total conversion mod could indeed fit that billing, but over the course of its development, it's grown into something much bigger. Now seven years in the making, GTA 1991 is gunning for an August showcase designed to illustrate the size, stature and scope of the project. And it sounds pretty damn exciting.
For starters, GTA 1991 explores the origins of the base game's sweeping crack epidemic. Over dozens of missions, it paints its narrative through the eyes of Little Devil—a side character previously mentioned only by name in GTA: San Andreas, and said to be deceased by the time CJ takes over in Los Santos.
