  • GTA: Vice City C64 IntroI've just got Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PC. It's intro contains a short 'tribute' to the C64 - did this appear on the PS2 version too? Yeah…

    Speccy wasn't popular in the US - I'm not in any way surprised that they would choose the C64 reference for a game set in the 80's.
