British Gaming Blog cornered Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto creator Mike Dailly, beat an interview out of him and drove off in his sedan. The series became a monster smash for Rockstar, but in turn became synonymous with game violence. Would that have happened if Dailly'd helmed his blade runnery GTA 3? The creator had this to say:

No, I think 'my' GTA wouldn't have been quite so 'mass-market', which is good and bad. I think mine might have been a little more fun, but would never have sold the way GTA 3 and the rest of them had. After GTA 2, I'd envisaged a top down 'blade runner', glowing signs, but full 3D this time, with lots of effects and destruction. But I think they made the right choice as its helped open gaming to a whole new breed.

For better or worse, for better or worse. Brian Ashcraft
