About GTA: Vice City
Vice City compiled to WebAssembly. Drive the neon streets of 1986 in a browser tab.
This is Vice City as on PC: the 1986 story, the radio, the neon. The page adds import and export of PC save files, custom player skins, optional cheats (off by default, F3), on-screen touch controls and a frame cap setting.
About the game
The engine is reVC, the open-source reverse-engineered Vice City code, compiled to WebAssembly with Emscripten. A Web Worker unpacks the game archive into browser storage, and a Service Worker serves it, so after the first import the game runs offline.
Made by @joncodeofficial, building on reVC and the DOS Zone WASM engine.

Tips for GTA: Vice City
- Cheats are off by default: press F3 if you want the classic sandbox chaos, leave it off for a clean first playthrough.
- Export your save before switching browsers or clearing storage: the save-import feature is the port's best trick.
An independent browser port of a classic game, not an AI original. OttersPlay does not host game files and is not affiliated with the original publisher. Some projects require files from your own copy.
