Ghost Town
The Ghost Town in Grand Theft Auto III is a 'hidden area', not intended to be accessed during normal gameplay. It is used in the introduction to the game where Claude is helping to rob a bank, before being betrayed and shot by Catalina. The Ghost Town is basically a street with the Liberty City Bank, some stores and apartments, and a Mr. Wongs, an Esperanto, and three Securicars parked on the street. The area is named 'Ghost Town' by players, as there is no official name for that area.
During gameplay, it can only be accessed by flying the Dodo there. Very few of the objects are solid, and those that are solid are tiny props, so there is nowhere to land. If using cheats, the flying cars cheat can also get the player to the Ghost Town. A modification was made for the PC version that places a bridge and solidifies the area, which allows the player to reach the Ghost Town more easily.
The Ghost Town is noticeably more detailed than Liberty City itself; the alley behind the bank contains dumpsters, cardboard boxes, and even various items of garbage strewn across the ground. Most of the apartments above the alley/streets also feature air conditioning units on the windows, like some buildings in real-life. The sidewalks, however, are empty, with the exception of a few street lights and parking signs.
