GTA3 ... help me get the noodle man

John1 · #1 22-06-2003, 15:55

Hi,

Could someone help me get the chunky noodle man?
I went and got the molatov clocktail from the tramps
tunnel, and i blew up the noodle stand, but he still
got away.

previously i had chased him for miles, and killed
myself trying to crash him.

Any tips ?

John

I was gonna say - I'm not trying to be rude, but I've been following this thread for a while.

It looks like someone is using a questionably-legal backup of a game they don't have a manual for.

Starts off with "how do I save games in GT3", changes to "how do I save games in GTA3", then "how do I play GTA3".

Read the FAQ's.

And don't get pirated software.

Hi kooldraco, Hi Gurm,

Kooldraco, thanks for the link to the GTA3 FAQs, i went
with a tip from Stephanie and Ryan, which was to put a
bomb in chunky's car and get him blown up.
Many thanks for that.
Now on the 'Van Heist'.

Gurm, no its not a pirated game. its a free GTA3 game
that came with the purchase of a PS2 from 'Blockbusters'
this was a limited offer, and my friend went to some
trouble to get to a store in another town where this
offer was still available at £200:00 UK pounds sterling.

I believe we have all the items that are supposed to
be with the game, but i don't recall a manual.

Theres a map, and a small 26 page booklet called
Welcome to Liberty City, is that the manual you mean?

I don't think that is the manual you mean, cos i could
not find instructions in it on saving the game.

This is one of the few computer games that has
interested me, playing computer games has usually just
passed me by but this one has me hooked.

I am not used to how they save, or restart anew and so
on, but i am getting better now. I still cant figure
out the 'aim the gun' and my driving is terrible.

And i will look through the FAQs.

Cheers, John

Go yell at BlockBuster.

Every game for every system comes with a manual. Many of us find it retardedly stupid and irksome that an otherwise beautiful manual (for example the one in Dark Cloud 2) can be interrupted with Sony's contractually obligated "push X to do this, push O to do that, push R1 to take a dump, press..."

But apparently there are those (such as yourself) that actually need the instructions.

Every game has 'em. I bet they gave you a pre-played one, and kept the manual, since people steal 'em a lot and they like to keep extras.

Cheap bastards.

Hi Gurm,

A beautiful manual?
Could you please describe this manual,
it might be worth trying to get one from them.

I wasn't around when this set was unpacked, i didn't see
it until later when it was in use, so it is possible
that it is around somewhere, but unlikely.
As this is the newest thing here for a while, all its
bits are in the blue cardboard PS2 box.

I will have a look around for this manual, please
describe it well enough that i would recognise it,
and that i don't look for it in places where it would
not easily fit.

Many thanks, John

I honestly couldn't tell ya what the GTA3 manual looks like, beyond the fact that it's the size of a DVD keepcase, and the front says "Grand Theft Auto 3", with a picture of a little star and the insignia RockStar Games.

*shrug*

All PS2 games have manuals. Every last one.

That dont look a GTAIII manual to me...

There is no real 'manual' for either GTAIII or Vice City as the first few missions for the either game are basically Tutorials on how to play the games. And yes that 'Welcome To Liberty City' Booklet is supposed to be the manual..

By the way, you Americans still get those Black PS2 DVD Cases?

bighap · #10 24-06-2003, 11:29

Oh crap. My bad. Fixed. The manual is the one on the right.

Yeah. What color do you get?

JoyBoy · #12 24-06-2003, 11:55

Well, for the past year or so, we have been getting some rather snazzy blue covers. Same as the black cover (PS2 Memory Card holder etc...), but blue...

bighap · #13 24-06-2003, 12:01

Sweet. Got a pic?
EDIT: Nevermind. Found pics on ebay.

John1 · #14 24-06-2003, 13:20

Many thanks to you all for your input,

The case with this game is a sort of silver-grey, with
the word 'Platinum' bottom left. If i spread the case
open, it is possible to withdraw the printed picture
jacket from the plastic cover. The picture in this one
is a different picture to the one in the pic above.
And the words along the bottom of the fold-out map
are in bold yellow, where they are white in the pic.

Otherwise it all seems present and correct.

Now trying the 'Pay roll van'

Cheers, John

John1, that pic that bighap posted is of the American/NTSC release of the game.. You have the PAL version of the game, which comes with a much better cover..

Same game mind you....
