Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Quiz Thread

[Famine]

Was only kidding - besides, people will see your thread...

It's hard for everyone - even Acidman who lives and breathes Vice City. In fact, I only caught it in passing, thanks the route I take between two specific places.

I'll add the text of the sign without the place in a minute. Have to drive there first...

The sign says:

"Come To

[...]

Look, we have
a boat that belonged
to a loser"

Now - what's the place?

 

[Yisha]

Is it at the boatyard?

 

[Famine]

Nope.

 

[Yisha]

Does that mean that just by driving along the street you can see it?

 

[Famine]

Yep - although it's much easier to see if you're using a shortcut from one place in Vice City to another (a shortcut I often use).

 

[Yisha]

I'm having no luck but I really want to ask a questipon of my own. Could you tell me which one of the three areas it's in for example Escobar International?

 

[Yisha]

Can you tell me where the shortcut takes you from and where it takes you to?

 

[Yisha]

I'm in Suspense.

 

[Yisha]

Is it Florida?

 

[Famine]

Florida isn't a city...

 

[AP1]

Florida is a state, which Vice City is located in.

 

[Sleek Stratos]

I have a strong feeling it's in Little Haiti, will have to check in a few hours. I use shortcuts like crazy too, I'm bound to find it.

To make things easier - especially for Yisha - you can find the advert in the south half of the west island (that's Little Havana, Viceport and Escobar International).

 

[Sleek Stratos]

Okay, I misread that. (I like that whistling smiley though)
Nevertheless, I found the answer.

Come to

Dundee​

Indeed an excellent shortcut that is.

Now, what are the names of the three adopted 'children' in the "Just the Five of Us" show?
I'd say it's a fairly easy one.

 

[Acidman]

Timmy, Shawn, and Charlotte.

Question to come soon.

Well spotted!

For the uninitiated, it's the northernmost billboard around the east edge of Escobar International.

 

[psonefreak]

so how bout a question stratos? and I didn't know dundee was a real place...

 

[Yisha]

Come on Stratos! Ask your question!

 

[Yisha]

Come on Acidman! Ask the question!

It's in Scotland.

And it's Assman's turn - he already got Sleek Stratos's question. Patience is a virtue...

 

[AP1]

Yes, Yisha, you need to give people time to get a question. Except for Famine, I bet he has a long line of folders in a secret cabinet, questions waiting to be asked...

 

[Famine]

You know it!

Although that was the last really evil one.

 

[Acidman]

Alright, sorry for the delay. My father was fixing on our home network today disabling my internet.

Anyway, Where can you find 'Tony's Furniture' Store?

Also, Yisha, try the

button sometime. It works wonders.

 

[Blake]

That button is evil Acidman, you know that!

Ahem...

Honestly Acidman, you can do better than that.

'Tony's Furniture' can be found in Little Haiti, go south from the pizza place, it's just before the second road to the right (the road that goes to Little Havana, not the Junk Yard)

Since I'm feeling munificent, just complete the following sentence: "Why not get ____ and do it yourself this weekend?"

It's a phrase that appears written twice in the game.

 

[Yisha]

Hey can you give me any hints as to where to find this written?

 

[Famine]

I actually know exactly where this sign is, and what it says - I was trolling for questions a while ago and nearly died laughing when I saw it.

But, since I don't have a follow-up question, I'm not going to answer it...


The sign is within the confines of what the game will allow you to explore when it first starts.

 

[Acidman]

So it's on the first island. Thanks for the huge help there Famine.

 

[Yisha]

I now know it's on the first island , but I will admit I'm not that bright so that doesn't help much. If you have anymore clues that you're willing to give out, then please do.

 

[Blake]

It could also be on Prawn Island...
