Gta 1 functions adequately on win10, though not optimally. It launches successfully with dgVoodoo2 or a comparable wrapper. Locate the files in \MS\x86 and place them in the directory containing the gta exe. If you possess a version supporting both DOS and Windows, opt for the Windows edition.

I intended to mention glide wrappers too. The most appealing way to play is by running the game in glide mode.

Steam simply wraps any DOS title around DOSBOX, which is an older version at that point. Microsoft really does a great job keeping backward compatibility. The issue lies in the graphical backend of Windows being rewritten multiple times, causing many problems with older titles. For such cases, I usually start with pcgamingwiki.com. Looking at GTA, there’s a third-party solution that fixes most (though not all) of the game’s issues. Since the game uses Glide as its hardware renderer, a Glide wrapper might also help get it running. If that doesn’t work, it seems the game came with a DOS executive, making DOSBOX a possible last option.
