Deleted Member	Oh goody, I LOVE these kinds of threads. :D Another link between Vice City and GTA3 is that Donald Love, an apprentice to the property magnate Avery Carington moves on to create a successful media buisiness that owns literally all of the radio stations in Liberty City. Now what's interesting is that Donald Love has taken on Avery's motto of 'nothing brings down real estate prices like a good ol' fashioned gang war'. El Burro starts off as a boss with homosexual tendencies in the seconds San Andreas level ("Tequila Slammer"); and then moves on to Liberty City as the gang leader of the Diablos. Now on a sidenote, I personally am inclined to believe that El Burro and Fernando (host of "Emotion 98.3" and Fernando's New Beginnings) are one and the same. I know I'm probably wrong, but I have been convinced of this ever since Fernando admitted to kissing a donkey on Chatterbox. 'nuff said 'bout that. Finally.. from Grand Theft Auto 2, the conglomerate 'Zaibatsu' gang were claimed to be involved with everything from drug dealling to politics, so it wouldn't come to much of a suprise that the Maibatsu motor company, famous for the 'Maibatsu Thunder' in the mid-80's and 'Maibatsu Monstosity' in the early 00's, would be just a legitimate front to this immense underground organisation. And yes, I do take my GTA waaay too seriously. :p

Deleted Member	Yeah, I know that there are others eg. "Equinox from Zaibatsu Pharmacuticals"; but the Monstrocity is probably the most well known, (That's why a parody was included in Vice City) and alot of gullible people spent along time looking for that car in GTA3. Not me personally, though. :p Now where's my can of Giggle Cream?

Something which is more likely to be done on purpose, also on the maffia missions; the big boss's lady tells you when you've brought her back home: "you respect me and everything" which I think comes from the GTA2 slogan: Respect is everything. That, or I'm reading way too much in this game.

Was that our first preview of things to come? ;) The STinger is the only car to appear in all gta games except gta:london. I think. In gta's 1/2 it resembled a corvette, in gta3 it was a Porsche Boxster, in Gta:VC it was either a Ferrari Daytona or a 70's Stingray corvette, before the ZR1 (banshee). :D The background music of the 'lips 106' station (where Andy gives her first words) is the 'god bless the universe' track from Krishna radio in gta2. The 'srs perkup commercial' in gta2's head radio references funk fm from gta1 (the disco track) ------------------
