GTA 1 Web Version
Posted: 30 Apr 2026, 03:22
GTA 1 Web game early
https://www.smfseo.net/gta/dist/ Look at controls at end of this post!!! F to enter vehicles
I would say the Liberty City map is the best currently.
Very early but a lot of the core concepts are in. Missions are bugged at the moment.
I did sneak a helicopter in and it works! Helicopter spawned at tile(168,3) use spacebar to take off and land or use COPTER cheat. Top right middle near the river.
and the boat spawns at 74,110
Fun fact the helicopter graphic was in GTA 1 but didn't make it to final game, now I have it working! Flying is pretty fun
Basic missions in. Needs lots of work though...
Multiplayer.
Connecting
- Host generates a 5-char room code (e.g. A7Q4K) and shares it
- Other players enter the code to join via WebRTC
- Works over the internet (not just LAN) — NAT traversal via STUN
- Up to 32 players per lobby (soft cap, depends on host bandwidth)
Lobby
- Host picks the map — all 3 built-in cities (Liberty City, San Andreas, Vice City) plus any custom maps
- Host configures per-match settings, all clickable to cycle:

MULTIPLAYER
Click the orange MULTIPLAYER button on the city-select screen.
Host a game to get a 5-character room code; share it with friends
to join. Up to 32 players over WebRTC peer-to-peer (PeerJS).
Lobby controls
Click MAP / MODE / SCORE LIMIT / TIME LIMIT / MAX PLAYERS to
cycle (host only).
MY COLOR cycles your ped tint (everyone can pick their own).
Y or / - Open lobby chat. Enter to send, Esc to cancel.
START GAME - Host only.
In-match keyboard
All single-player on-foot / vehicle / weapon controls work as
normal, plus:
Y or / - Open chat input. Enter to send, Esc to cancel.
Tab (hold) - Show the live scoreboard (kills, deaths, ping).
On match end, the scoreboard pins open.
F - Enter / exit a vehicle. In MP this also lets
you hijack passing traffic cars (host converts
the NPC car into a player-drivable vehicle).
Game modes
Free For All - Everyone vs everyone. First to score limit or
highest at timer wins.
Team Deathmatch - Auto-balanced 2 teams. Friendly fire is off.
Blue / red tagged nameplates.
Last Man Standing - No respawn. Last alive wins the round.
Cops vs Robbers - Cops start with a pistol + squad car.

the name/HP rides above the car instead of the ped.
- "Press Y to chat" hint at bottom-left, with the chat log above.
- Match-over overlay with the winner and a green "RETURN TO
LOBBY" button (host only).

vehicle comes from hijacking traffic (or the cop starter cars
in Cops vs Robbers).
