I finished off that GTA3 mission I was stuck on, and it was easier with the tank, but it still took a number of tries as I kept getting hit with bad luck. The first time I almost made it all the way back to the drop-off point, except I slowed down for one tight corner and a police officer out of nowhere ran up and busted me. The second time, I hit a bump on the airport tarmac that was difficult to see in the dark and flipped the tank over. I got it on the third try though, after taking it a bit more carefully.

Then it was on to the final mission. I “failed” the first attempt, since my bulletproof Patriot got blown up and I wanted to keep it, so I restarted it and beat it on the second try. It was just a slog through a whole bunch of Colombians guarding the dam area, and the sniper rifle and rocket launcher let me pick them off without too much danger.

So that’s one GTA down, and just three more to go. Technically there’s still more to do in GTA3, but as I said I’m not going for 100% completion, and there are others to play. I might even have to skip one just to fit them all in, though I’m not sure which one I’d cut yet…
