We’ve been done with the main story for about three weeks now, and no one else has come looking for us. I’ve been spending my time looking for the damn inflatable shark that is supposedly cruising the waters somewhere in Vice City. I _will_ find it!!! ---

I’ve seen the shark, and the dolphin. Bullets seem to have no effect. i need to find the last 19 packages (i even have the map and can’t find some of them!) ---

You need to beat the printworks missions. Once you finish the last one, the old guy will call you (and then the beginning of the end begins). And there is a lot of stuff you can do after that…RC Toyz missions, helicopter races, dirtbike missions. Or you could collect rare cars…the white PCJ, the Black Sanchez, the black Patriot, yellow limo, Love Fist Limo, various fireproof cars…you’d probably have to restart to get them because most of them only appear once a game. ---

\*Warning!!! If you use any cheat codes, you most likely can’t get 100% in the game, as one of the hidden packages will likely disappear, unless you already have it (on the helipad at the south end of the airport)\* Not true. The only thing cheat codes can do is lower your criminal rating, and not all of them do. Health/armor codes, weapon codes, and wanted level codes all have no effect on your game. The cheats to stay away from are the ones that spawn vehicles, change how cars handle or drive etc., or the ones that mess with pedestrians. Trust me, I have 100% and cheated plenty of times. ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Tars Tarkas \* I sneaked in the side and unloaded the Spaz shotgun into him. He died. There is a cool helicopter checkpoint thing, if you can find the helicopter on the mainland, on a roof. ---

chopper is on top of the hyman condo… there is also one on top of V’s mansion, although I don’t know how to get it, not that I need it. Really, what counts when you ask what more is there to do, is under STATS, & it’s how much of the game you have completed. If you only have 15% & completed all the missions, then maybe you need to do a bit more… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by scottyboy \* > \*\* > There is a cool helicopter checkpoint thing, if you can find the helicopter on the mainland, on a roof. \*\* 3 of 'em, at least. I’ve not read a manual to see if there are more, but the next one appears when you finish one. ---

Come back after you enter Vice Point. Go into the little room on the right as you enter the mansion. Three guards SHOULD be there. They are, however, a waste of time and money ($1000 each). They follow you around like lapdogs, but only attack hostile targets that you lock on to AND FIRE. Every gun in your arsenel at 100% should kill in one-shot, so it’s pretty lame). ---

I wonder what happened to him. But to see Jimmy Hoffa get the sea skimmer & try to fly under the north bridge & as you do, you should see him in the cement of the bridge. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-ive-run-out-of-things-to-do-in-vice-city/150532.md?page=1)
