The A-Team

The A Team van appears in both a mission and as a driveable vehicle.

The Paperboy moment

That moment when you're on a cycling mission called Smut Peddler, and notice a spinning break-dancer on the 'sidewalk'. Even the style of houses change for this area.

Paperboy is a 1984 arcade game by Atari Games. The players take the role of a paperboy who delivers newspapers along a suburban street on his bicycle. This game was innovative for its theme and novel controls.

The Ghostbusters moment

That moment when you discover this building. It's an obvious one, but hides more references inside. There is a fairly accurate interior too.

Before and After

A few nice examples of before and after shots taken during early missions. The first is during a bank raid.

The second  sequence is of a street screen. This is the Frogger reference.

The Frogger moment

That moment when during a mission, you must try to navigate a busy freeway. It's heavy continuous traffic and the squashed frog are the giveaway...

The Pac-Man moment

That moment when the police are chasing you in numbers, and you turn a corner then dive down an alleyway to pick up a pill. The screen brights-out with that familiar sound...

Player Vehicles

There is a wonderfully wide and varied range of vehicles to drive. The subway car, the shopping trolley and the A-Team van to name but a few. Over time I will be adding to this post to keep all the captured vehicle sprites in a single post.
