It was back to missions in GTA3 today, and I started working on the ones based on the third island (though most of them actually start on the second). I finished off Donald Love’s missions, after which he mysteriously disappeared, and went back to Asuka’s again. Hers should be the last bits of the storyline, though I still have some optional gang jobs to complete, if I want.

I found the import garage on the third island, and managed to round up all of the cars for it fairly quickly since most of them were fairly common ones. I also happened to run across the rare ice cream truck I needed for the first import mission, and hurried it and the plane back to Portland to finish that one off as well. It was a bit odd “driving” the plane through the city streets…

And for now I’m a bit stuck on the second-last storyline mission, where I have to blow up a plane as it’s landing at the airport. I know what to do and can set it up with no problems, but I always seem to hit a bit of bad luck with something, either missing the plane, getting blown up on the boat, inadvertently raising the wanted level a bit too far and getting run over by the army, falling into the water as I’m trying to get out of the boat, failing to find a good car to hijack to return to the end point… It’s just a matter of trying, but I ran out of time tonight. Maybe I’ll try it with the tank instead, if I can get it over there quickly enough.
