[OT] GTA:Vice City
For the first time, Joel has found a game for the XBOX that both of us love.
He loves the game play. I love the soundtrack that comes with it. Ok, I admit, I am a pathetic 80's addict. But the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game comes with approximately 8 'radio stations' which play approximtley 15 songs each. And each and every one is retro 80's. I was in sheer music nostalgia heaven. Now if I could just figure out how to play the CD-ROM as a music CD, I'd be really really happy. Yowie Anyone else out there addicted to the 80's sound? |

I listened to the radio all the time in the 80s, on my commute to and from work, or wherever I happened to be driving. I don't even listen to the radio now. Everything's owned by Clearchannel and it all sounds like the same drivel. Not that music wasn't heavily commercialized 20 years ago, but at least it had some character. What are some of your favorite songs from that era? My favorites are "new wave" type songs like "867-5309 (Jenny)" by Tommy Tutone. Was that a hit in Australia? Joyce |

Interesting post, but for Torontonians like me, your header throws us a wide
curve! Around these parts "GTA" is a common abbreviation for "Greater Toronto Area"! So naturally anyone from Tranna's going to read it to find out which surrounding community is "Vice City". Scarborough? Mississauga? North York? See what you've started?? g "Yowie" wrote in message u... For the first time, Joel has found a game for the XBOX that both of us love. He loves the game play.

In u,
Yowie radiated into the WorldWideWait: Now if I could just figure out how to play the CD-ROM as a music CD, I'd be really really happy. Hmm... If you use your Windows Explorer to examine the disc, you will probably find the songs in there as MP3s. It's easy to copy them to your HD. |

According to my hubby, who is a GTA: Vice City Addict, you can CDs with the
sound track from Vice City on it. There is a separte Cd for each radio station on the game. There are 6 CDs available: V-Rock, Wave 103, Flash FM, Wildstyle, Fever 105, Espantoso. You can find it online at Barnes & Noble in the music section. Probably other places, but didn't take the time to look them up. Diane "Yowie" wrote in message u...

(...) Yowie Anyone else out there addicted to the 80's sound? No. Re. GTA-VC, I usually listen to the talk station, whatever it's called. Funny. Haven't played the game for a while though. Or I'll also add tracks to the mp3 station, which in my case generally consists of bizarre jazz. Smooth. Nice. Etc. Steve. |

(I know I'm responding to an old post. It's been a *long* time since I've
visited rpca.) There are mp3 newsgroups with thousands of songs for downloading. You are at the mercy of what others choose to post though but much comes up eventually. Check news:alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 and News:alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1980s There are a lot of other groups in the sounds.mp3 series. Tom "Victor Martinez" wrote in message ...
