| On the right side of the Hyman Memorial Stadium parking lot, the third or forth section of the wall is not solid. It appears solid, but you can drive right through it. I have died many times backing through that wall. ------------------ ![]() Touge on 2/19/05 at 12:57 pm Little AJ, little AJ On the tarmac road.

| Deleted Member | Check out this easter egg, it is .... drum roll please .... an easter egg To find it go to the VCN helipad it is right by the north most bridge. If you are coming from the 1st island, turn right on the sidewalk and go back in a little bit, then go through the doors. Go to the top of the helipad, and look slightly to the right, and notice that that corner almost touches the building. Notice the window right above the ledge. Jump through, and bam, easter egg. I I won’t explain more, you can see for yourself amaretsekaJ |

| I was browsing the old gta3 website on rockstargames.com and I listened to the ammu-nation commercial at portland. It's extremely similar to the vice city version, only in gta3... 1. it's the store that BEAT communism, 2. It whooped SUDAN's ass, 3. it screens enemy of the state as well as red dawn. ------------------ ![]() |

| tHERE IS A SONG ON V-ROCK CALLED "sHE sELLS sANCTUARY" BY tHE cULT. tHAT SONG CAN'T BE FOUND ON THE CD, THOUGH IT CAN ALSO BE HEARD IN GRAN TURISMO 3: a-SPEC. ufa tODAY - uSA TODAY, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW AND HAVE SEEN THEIR MEDIA ATTENTION METERS RISE. tHE eSCOBAR aIRPORT LOGO IS A PARODY OF THE logo for A&E. And there is historical error in the liberty city sign...it shows the new moonbeam approximately 15 years into the game's future. Speaking of which the poster in the ocean View hotel room is based on this picture at this link: www.gouranga.com/images/gta3/gta3_81.jpg ------------------ ![]() |

| Deleted Member | If you use the "Ghost World" cheat at The Pole Position, the triggers for the dancers in the back room actually show up on top of the club. When you step inside them, they will take you through the dancer cutscene - except you're actually inside the skin of the building. And when you leave the cutscene, you're still inside the skin. I have screenshots of this...if I get five e-mails by the end of April, I'll re-post them. tommyalma@hotmail.com |

| First off the "take a vacation in Liberty City"/ Moonbeam sign is not a historical error. There are moonbeams in Vice City too! Sure, the grille is differnt, but its differnt on the Perrinial too, an don't even try to tell me that LC has new Perrinials. The error is in the background. If you look at Shcu's screenshot of that exact same pic, minus 'take a vacation' there is a new taxi in the back ground, but on the VC poster it is too blurry to see. the following glitches are for GTA 3 S.A.M. In the opening cutscene Asuka is whacking Miguel with a stick. About halfway thru, her body freezes, and the stick wobbles about wildly, then continues to smack Miguel. Wierd. Grand Theft Aero I pulled up next to the hanger, and the columbians started shooting. I dashed behind the Pan Lantic van. I thought, crap, i should have used my bullet proof Patriot. I whipped out my rocket launcher an blasted the plane to fail the mission. just as i did, a Dodo came tumbling out of the sky, and was inches from smashing down infront of the hanger when it simply faded away. I thought it faded away because it happend as i failed my mission, but i came back with my B.P. hummer and he plane didnt come back. ------------------ ![]() Touge on 2/19/05 at 12:57 pm Little AJ, little AJ On the tarmac road.

| If you see a bike with two persons on it, you can crash into the bike, and then get this bike. let the man who was NOT driving to get on the bike, and ho ho ho he's with you. another cool thing you can do with him, is to get down from the bike, and then hit the bike ([big]WARNING![/big] do not get on the bike because the man will get down and runaway) with a car, and it will always get on the wheels, and the man will never fall down. the man will disappear only when the bike's exploding... ------------------ ![]() y_tzur@hotmail.com |

| Whoa...this is weird. I went down to 8-ball's at VicePort and fitted my Taxi with a CarBomb, then crashed it through my Sunshine Auto's window. I ran to a safe distance and detonated it, taking out all the cars inside (including the ones on the second floor! The weird bit? I was on 100% and I couldn't switch weapons away from the detonator! You can steal the Sanchez's the Haitians pursue you with during the Dirt Track missions. Those are the only BLACK Sanchez's in the game. And yes, it IS a historical error, as the poster shows a blurry 2001/2 model Moonbeam as compared to the 1986 Moonbeam you're driving. ------------------ ![]() |

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the 'ghost world' cheat? I've never heard of it before. Anyway I guess I should mention a glitch I noticed a while ago: I was wandering around on the roof of a building in Little Havana when I noticed a car (I forget what type) driving along at the same height as me. Thinking that this was rather odd since I was about 10 feet above road level I dropped down and ran to the car and found that it really was flying above the ground. It stopped at a traffic light and then I followed it around the corner on foot. Just to see what happened, I shot the underneath of the car with an M4 and as soon as it was hit it dropped to the ground and sped away. This has never happened since and I don't know what triggered it. Has anyone else seen this happen in their game? |

I think something similar happened to me...I was being pursued by the cops and just before I squeezed my car into the Pay 'n Spray a Cop Car launched itself off the roof of the Pay 'n Spray and landed on the road below...

| Man you guys have some really fucked up copies of the game. I bought Vice City the day it came out on PS2. And to this day I haven't seen flying cars. Also cheat codes do affect the game itself too. Play the game the right way. If you want to loose your wanted level, then get to a "pay'n spray". If you want better weapons, then collect all the hidden packages.( you'll get a new weapon delivered to your hide-outs for every 10 hidden packages you find.) ------------------ Gone to the roof |

| Deleted Member | We found this really screwed glitch... Go on the ramp near one of the bridges, the one sort of near the night club. Go off it on 2 wheels, so you do a barrel roll. When the drivers seat is facing up, get out of the car. You'll stand on it and the car will freeze there. It sometimes takes a few tries to do it right. It stays there until you jump off, then it just falls. |

| No! It is not a historical error! The moonbeam is a 1990ish Chevy Astro. They no longer make Astros. This is why the Moonbeam on the sign and in GTA3 looks almost exactly like the one in VC. All Moonbeams in Liberty City are all old crappy minivans. If they were new, don't you think they would look newer, like Blistas? Like I said, Perrinials look slightly differnt than they did in 2000 as they do in 1986, but this dosen't mean that they are new Perrinials! Perrinials are 1960ish, as Moonbeams are 1990ish, as Blistas are 200ish, so just drop the whole historical inacuracy about the "Take a Vacation in Liberty City" sign ------------------ ![]() Touge on 2/19/05 at 12:57 pm Little AJ, little AJ On the tarmac road.

| Deleted Member | when your phone rings on the game, go to a place where it is possible to change clothes. make sure you have a motor bike really near by! then walk into the change clothes logo and then get onto the bike. because the phone is ringing your clothes wont change, get onto the bike. you can now run while on a bike and freely use weapons such as shotguns from the motorbike. pressing X means that the bike will move at its normal speed and pressing the UP arrow means you run along. |

| Innacurate Police Radio Chatter On high-speed chases, the police radio is really screwed up. Whenever it goes "Suspect last seen driving a ______" it is always very brief or just horribly wrong. For example, take off in a Virgo with a couple of stars. Eventually it will say "Suspect last seen driving in a dark 2-door" They don't know if I am driving a Virgo or an Infernus! Much less what color it is. In a Barracks OL, it says "a black truck". Once again, not to good of a description. But somehow the cops always know what I'm in! My favorite screwed up description I am in a silver Stallion convertible. The radio says "Suspect last seen driving a blue '92 Ford convertible" ------------------ ![]() Touge on 2/19/05 at 12:57 pm Little AJ, little AJ On the tarmac road.
