	I like the mission when the ememy is called Tanner (from Driver)and is refered to aS 'strangely animated'. I think theres another mission tha5t mentions a name like Nick Kang form Streets of LA. The airport structure when seen from overhead view is a very clever attack on Zelda (or more specifically Link). Any other bits where gta slags off the opposition that you've noticed?

	Good find, I have the PS2 version and never noticed the airport/Link connection, I'm going to have to check it out. Is this for GTA 3 or VC? I don't know if I can still fly the dodo after not playing it for so long, oh well probably.

	I don't think it means anyhting. they just liked the names, and paid the owners to use them. ------------------- Aug.03 Noob Killaz, feuer frei.

	The "Autocide" mission of Vice City is full of hits at other similar games (including The Getaway, Driver and True Crime: Streets of LA). They are cleverly worded and provide a bit of friendly rivalry between the companies (Activision included some shots back at Grand Theft Auto in True Crime). A note about the "Autocide" mission is that it contains the pure-white PCJ-600 motorcycle. It is leaning against the fence near where the weapons cache is located. If you take it at the start of the mission, and manage to keep it intact til the end, you've got yourself one of the unique vehicles in the game. Save it in a garage!

	They are not the exact same names though. Like instead of Nick Kang it's Nick Kong and instead of Marc Hammond it's Marcus Hammond. -------------------

	I gotta admit though Activision got R* back good. There's a billboard in True Crime with a big J* and it say "Jockstrap." And there's a cartoon picture of some dude wearing a jockstrap, and the whole billboard was done in pink. Doesn't really matter though, R* has the better game. -------------------

But yeah, you're right, True Crime is in no way as good as GTA. Where is that billboard btw? -------------------
