'''San Andreas''' is a city featured in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] | '''San Andreas''' is a city featured in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and based on [[:wp:San Francisco, California|San Francisco, California]]. The city is unlocked upon completion of the second string of [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] missions. | ||
== Design == | |||
Similar to other cities in GTA 1, San Andreas is designed as a coastal city, although the city lacks adherence to San Francisco's layout of districts, as outlying districts are not accurately placed and the city in entirety faces the wrong direction. | |||
The city is divided into two landmasses, with the northern portion the largest of the two and serving as the city's core, while the southern portion is occupied by a single district, Sunview. The northern landmass is further divided by Aye Valley, which cuts through the heart of the area from the east to the west. The southern coastline of the northern landmass is characterized by its many docks, similar to San Francisco's docks to the north of the peninsular. | |||
San Andreas does sport distinctive features associated with San Francisco, such as sloped districts, tram lines (which appear only for show), Chinatown and "Soviet Hill" (Russian Hill) districts, [[wp:Lombard Street, San Francisco|Lombard Street]], and a large red bridge attempting to emulate the Golden Gate Bridge. Accessible trams, similar to train systems in [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]], were considered as early in the game's development, but was not finalized, possibly explaining the absence of train services in San Andreas. | |||
The city is apparently named after [[wp:San Andreas Fault|the fault line]] that runs along the state of California, where San Fransisco is situated. | |||
== Districts == | |||
San Andreas features a total of 17 districts, with 16 located on the northern landmass. The districts are evidently based on real life areas in New York City and New Jersey, while their names are plays of those from their real life counterparts: | |||
