I go on my own doomed bid for 100 percent completion, collecting oysters underwater, scrubbing out rival gang graffiti and taking snapshots of a game that feels huge like a state.

I can do anything here: often I cruise around the spaghetti highways of Las Venturas in an unshowy low-rider, watching as day transforms into night, and the casinos light up around me.

I make a mix CD of my favourite songs, hack together some interstitial DJ announcements with the Windows text-to-voice tool, and load it onto my Xbox hard-drive as a custom radio station. Other kids show me the businesses they’ve bought, the cars they’ve pimped out, how easily they can break in to the army base, but I choose to just live in the world once I complete all the story missions. I’m able now to shape the world for myself. Later, San Andreas gets an Xbox release, and I have saved up enough money to buy it with odd cleanings jobs over the summer and I am legally allowed to purchase it even though my only form of ID is a National Insurance card. “There’s no way a game will ever be this big again.” “There’s no way they’ll ever make a game better-looking than this,” I say, in wonder. I gaze through the yellow fog of downtown San Andreas as jankily rendered on another boy’s PS2. A mate of a mate swears, right, swears he got a seven-star rating even though the game only supports six. A mate’s brother stole a Hydra and carefully, somehow, backed it into his garage even though he hadn’t done all the flight school training yet. If you boot up the code, it is the size of LA.” A mate of a mate stole a Hydra and flew across the map and it took 25 minutes. “There’s a Bigfoot in the game, you know”, “If you use cheat codes you won’t be able to ever finish the game”, “They made a game the size of LA. Everybody at school has this game – bought for them by older brothers, cool uncles, chaotic dads – and as a result, the quad buzzes with braggadocio and rumour every break time. He boots up a new game and lets me marvel at the first mission, where you buzz around downtown Los Santos on a BMX, and I gaze in wonder at what I am convinced is the best 3D engine I will ever play in my lifetime.

This is how it works: His dad picks him up from school every day and I get the lift with him even though his house is slightly more out of my way, because he has GTA: San Andreas on PS2 and has already unlocked huge swathes of the map. The year is 2004 and I am at my friend Paul’s house, and we both have two of the worst haircuts anyone has ever had.

I hand the controller back to Chris and he hogs it for over an hour. I shoot a motorcycle over a ramp by a strip club in an attempt to score a stunt bonus but biff it into the water, dying immediately. In three years I’ll watch Scarface and be blown away at how many Grand Theft Auto references it makes. We are playing an entire 3D pastiche of the film Scarface. “Apparently this is based on a bit in Scarface.” Neither of us have seen Scarface. “Have you seen Scarface?” Chris says, pointing to a playable weapon that revs like a chainsaw. Later we might walk to a petrol station and score a Rustler’s burger and some Cadbury Crunchie Rocks. On the floor is an opened multi-pack of crisps and some two-litre bottles of Dr. Chris is kneeling really close to the TV, in a doomed bid for 100 percent completion, hoping to see the Hidden Packages better from a greyscale map he printed off at school. I am sat on a sofa cushion I have taken off from the sofa and flopped onto the floor, as 15-year-olds are for some reason compelled to do. The year is 2002 and I am in the front room of my friend, Chris, who has set up the PS2 downstairs because his mum is away this weekend. When it’s my turn I drive, and drive, and drive and drive, head spinning at how huge a city can be, how alive a game can feel, unless I get more than one star and then a police chase ensues and then I have to give the controller back to Gareth for another 40-minute search for an ice-cream van. When it’s Greg’s turn, he parks up in an unnoticed spot and we listen rapt on a loop to Chatterbox FM’s Lazlow, who we revere with the same holy sanctity our dad’s did with Derek and Clive.

Whoopee truck he read about in the back of Official PlayStation Magazine. When it’s Gareth’s turn on the controller, he patrols the Cochrane Dam area in a doomed bid for 100 percent completion, hoping to score a Mr. It’s two o’clock in the afternoon but the curtains are drawn so we can better see the grimy blues-and-greys that make up Liberty City.

I am gazing at the greatest 3D engine ever built in my lifetime, on a CRT TV screen Gareth and Greg have mounted on a wall at a special angle so they can both see it from their bunkbed.
