'Grand Theft Auto: Kirk Douglas' and other pirated games from a Nairobi market

Share this story

The Gameological Society's Joe Keiser, not content with mere torrented or knockoff titles, has unearthed a trove of the most perfect pirated games ever to grace this earth from a shopping center in Nairobi. Among other things, you'll find Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — Kirk Douglas, a mashup of the Grand Theft Auto and Saw franchises, and a rainbow-drenched cover for a real Robocop game. While some of the titles are reasonable attempts at localization, others are deeply surreal — like Kirk Douglas, which removes the missions from San Andreas and adds closeup shots of Kirk (or occasionally Michael) Douglas.
