I did a handful of more missions in GTA3 tonight, finally getting to the titular one and stealing some cars as a mission goal, not just for my own transportation. I also opened up a new weapons shop on the north end where I can now buy a rocket launcher, and did the vigilante mission to get a couple police bribe stars near my hideout. The vigilante mission is a piece of cake once you know a certain cheat-ish trick…

I should be getting close to the halfway point, according to the stats page.
