== Trivia == | |||
* The Rockstar North logo appears several times in game; for example, in GTA San Andreas it can be seen on the [[parachute]] pickup, on the casing of [[Let's Get Ready to Bumble]] arcade machines and on a [[Hotring Racer]]. | |||
* One of the missions given to players in [[Mafiya Work]] or [[Team Mafiya Work]] multiplayer games in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] references Rockstar North's efforts researching New York City for the development of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|the game's rendition of Liberty City]]. The players' client and boss, [[Kenny Petrovic|Konstantin Petrovic]], calls to inform that a team of researchers from a "Scottish" video game company are in Liberty City to research the city for the purpose of developing a video game. The players are tasked to pick up the developers so that they have a better understanding of criminal activities; in reality, they simply serve as muscle protecting the player, shooting at any enemies. | |||
