Remember the Ghost Town from earlier?

There's a bit more to see there other than a cityscape without any textures you can stand on!

When you're flying the Dodo around the Ghost Town area, you'll start to see a weird phenomenon on your in-game map that isn't normally there - the names of towns will start appearing!

These names are direct references to several of the Rockstar team who worked on Grand Theft Auto 3.

It's possible to see the following:

Garystown - Gary McAdam, 3D artist

Chris's Town - Chris Rothwell, Designer

Adamton - Adam Cochrane/Adam Fowler, 3D artist and technical director, respectively

Woodcunty - Alisdair Wood, 3D artist

Aaronsville - Aaron Garbut , Art director

Les County - Leslie Benzies, Producer

Obbeburgh - Obbe Vermeij, Technical director
