Cheat: GTA San Andreas Ester egges (part 3)

[Dark Overlord 7]

#63 - Observatory:
There is an observatory on the top of Verdant Bluffs in south Los Santos.
This is a real life observatory in Los Angeles where the climax of the film
Rebel Without a Cause was filmed. It is also one of the highest points in L.A.
and has a view of the famous Hollywood sign. What is also noteworthy is that
this is one of the only areas in the game that you can see the following
pedestrian models: The Jogging Ped, complete with jogging outfit. And the
Cyclist Ped, complete with shorts and helmet.

#64 - True Grime:
At the Unity Train Station in Los Santos, there is a billboard that shows a
bin man dumping rubbish saying 'True Grimes: Street Cleaner'. This refers to
the GTA style game True Crime: Streets of LA, which was a load of rubbish.

#65 - Jesus Saves:
In Los Santos there is wall art of Mary and an angel that says 'Jesus Saves'.
If you remember, in GTA2, the buildings where you saved said the exact same
thing.

#66 - Vice City Maps:
Go outside the Cluckin' bell in Angel Pine and directly across the street are
3 lined up trashcans. 2 of them have open tops, knock them over and look
inside and you will see a bunch of maps of Vice City.

#67 - Manhunt Reference:
In any of the bars in the game, there is often a wall of artwork. If you look
closely you can see that the soldier with the goggles is a Cerberus Foot
Officer from 'Manhunt', another Rockstar Game.

#68 - Trey Reference:
In Los Santos there is a Pedestrian model reminiscent to Trey from 'Boyz N'
The Hood'. He has the same face, haircut and clothing as seen during the
movie.

#69 - Lance Vance reference?:
For some reason some ambulances appear to only have the word 'Lance' at the
back and not 'Ambu'.

#70 - Eazy-E reference:
The character Ryder looks a lot like Eazy-E, the rapper from NWA. He is also
referred to as Eazy on some of his records. If you take Eazy and Ryder you
get...Easy Rider, relating further to the use of Freeways in the game.

#71 - Rockstar Constellation:
Look at the night sky preferably out in the wilderness and look at the stars.
You should see a constellation of stars in the form of the Rockstar Games
logo. A returning Easter Egg from Vice City.

#72 - Girlfriend Photos:
In some of your Safe Houses when dating girls, there will be pictures of the
ones you are dating on pin boards and in photo frames. Some of them are quite
interesting.

#73 - Shoot The Moon:
Much like the two previous GTA games, if you take a sniper rifle and shoot at
the moon, it will change in size. Perfect for setting up a nice landscape
photograph at night.

#74 - Radio Fame:
Calling all GTA fans! Whilst listening to WCTR try and spot the two famous
voices. Yes, Lazlow and Fernando Martinez are back again, carrying on the
fictional reality of the GTA series.

#75 - Any Way Round:
Look at the Easter Bay Airport runway. Look at the prices in the window at
most stores. If you look practically anywhere in the San Andreas world and you
will no doubt come across a number 69. Speculation is rife as to any other
relevance to this number other than the obvious, yet it seems they are only
there for humour value.

#76 - The Programmers Are Everywhere:
Have a look at some of the names on the map sometime. Certain areas are
references to the names of people who have worked on the GTA series, e.g.
Mount Chiliad.

#77 - Where Everybody Knows Your Name:
Next time you enter a bar, have a look at one of the signs next to the
toilets. It warns you to beware of Loose Women and Pickpockets.

#78 - Vice City Reference:
In the wardrobe in any safe house, there is a surfboard with a picture of palm
trees and a sunset on it. This refers to the beach areas in GTA Vice City.
Also, the safe houses contain certain pictures on the walls of similar scenes.

#79 - WCTR News:
Listen to the news on WCTR after you complete a few missions and it will have
changed to talk about the missions that you have just done!


#80 - Saturday Night at The Movies:
There are several cinemas within the game that advertise their films with
large posters. These films spoof actual films, for example, Wizard of 'But'
spoofs Wizard Of Oz.

#81 - Candy Suxx References:
Check some of the photos on your safe house walls. The photos are copies of
those that Tommy Vercetti took as part of a mission in GTA Vice City. Aswell,
have a look at one the neon sign of a woman kicking her legs up on The Old
Strip in Las Venturas. It's Candy Suxx as well.

#82 - Safe House Magazines:
In safe houses there are certain magazines on tables and the floor that spoof
current magazines. For Example, 'Rogue' is a spoof on 'Vogue'

#83 - Choke The Chicken:
When in your safe house, try and find a box of cereal in the kitchen. It is
called Cok-O-Pops, a spoof on both Coco-Pops and Cornflakes, with an image of
a chicken being choked on the front (a reference to bation).

#84 - Manhunt Again:
During one of the commercial breaks on K-Rose, listen out for an advert for
Carcer City, home of Rockstar's Manhunt game. This shows that the two games
are both set in the same fictional world and could highlight a potential
crossover at a much later date.

#85 - Star Wars Reference:
In one of Zero's missions, you have to shoot down RC Barons with a mini-gun.
When you have shot a few down Zero will say "Nice shooting kid, but don't get
cocky". This is the line said by Han Solo to Luke Skywalker when Luke is
shooting at TIE fighters from the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: A New Hope.

#86 - Casino names:
In Los Venturas, the casinos on the Strip are all named after rude slang (such
as The Clown's Pocket) or after real-life casinos and films. Examples are,
the Royale Casino (which is a spoof on the James Bond film, Casino Royale),
Caligula's Palace (spoofing Caesars Palace) and Pirates In Men's Pants
(spoofing the Gilbert And Sullivan Operetta, Pirates In Penzance).

#87 - Menace II Society reference:
One of the models used for the Grove Street gang is based upon the character
Kevin 'O-Dog' from the film Menace II Society. The model has short dreads and
a green and black checkered shirt. These are the same clothes worn by 'O-Dog'
in parts of the film.

#88 - Menace II Society reference:
One of the models used for the Grove Street gang is based upon the character
Kevin 'O-Dog' from the film Menace II Society. The model has short dreads and
a green and black checkered shirt. These are the same clothes worn by 'O-Dog'
in parts of the film.

#89 - Vice City reference:
If you go into any of the grocery stores, have a look at the ice-cream tubs on
sale. They are Cherry Popper brand, which is the ice cream company that Tommy
Vercetti takes over in GTA Vice City.

#90 - Notre Dame reference:
In any of the bars that you can enter, have a look at the signs on the wall.
One of them says 'Notre Lame', a reference to Notre Dame.

#91 - Basic Instinct reference:
One of the pedestrian Models is based upon Sharon Stone's character in the
film Basic Instinct. She is dressed in a white dress with a short hemline and
has blonde hair.
