DMA Design began developing a new game, "Race'n'Chase", in April 1995. The development team consisted of mostly inexperienced members, who struggled with the task until producer and creative director Gary Penn joined the project. Originally scheduled for release in late 1996, the game was ultimately released as "Grand Theft Auto" in October 1997 for Microsoft Windows, following many development issues. The game was a critical and commercial success, and ultimately spawned a successful series. Following the release of "Grand Theft Auto", DMA was bought by British publisher Gremlin Interactive for in 1997.
