How do you save a game in GTA3?(not a warez version)

[grimey742]

I was wondering at what point the game will let you save and how you do it.
This is a regular retail version of the game I am running and I don't know when you save the game.

is this some kind of joke?? It tells u right at the start of the game (when u escape the prison bound truck) how to save your game. Keep a look out for the info screens that appear at top left of your screen. AND the 'I' icons that are placed in important areas.

i have. And I walked through the door and everything and nothing happens.

Erm...... uninstall and reinstall the game.

Are you using any cracks ? Have you patched it to v1.1 ?

how about reading the instruction booklet

[grimey742]

instructions say nothing about saving the game

Look, there's a hideout, right ? It's marked with an icon on your minimap, it's in the red light district. You've got a door, and right next to it a garage door that opens when you approach it with your vehicle. If you go through the normal door, your game should be saved.

[grimey742]

and what if the regular door is closed? I have tried everything to open it with no advancements.

Almost forgot : you CANNOT save when a mission is active. Fail or win the mission and then check out your hideout, door should be open.
