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

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

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.

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.
