Unusual Codes Found in Collectible GTA 3 Copy
GTA 3 continues to surprise players, even after all these years. The discovery of handwritten cheat codes on a fan’s second-hand PlayStation 2 copy not only brought a nostalgic smile to their faces but also elevated the game’s collectible value to a whole new level.
A Nostalgic Discovery in GTA 3
According to a Reddit post, a gamer with the username niallniallniall found an unexpected surprise in their copy of GTA 3, which they purchased for just £4 on CEX. Inside the box was a handwritten list of classic Liberty City cheats. The codes ranged from weapon sets to summoning vehicles. The list even included a “wanted level” cheat that sends the police after the player.
Those who saw the post described the discovery as “pure nostalgic joy.” One user humorously summarized the situation by saying, “This isn’t just a secondhand game; it’s like a family heirloom.” Even years later, such notes found on game boxes once again demonstrated the strength of both gaming culture and the bond between gamers.
Although the classic secondhand labels from CEX were on the box, this didn’t diminish the value of the find. On the contrary, it further reinforced the game’s collectible status. A copy can gain meaning not only from the game disc but also from the surprises within. Such small notes are considered invaluable, reflecting the gaming experience of that era.
GTA 3’s story and gameplay have touched the lives of countless gamers over the years. Now, its resurgence, accompanied by handwritten codes, is the most intimate proof of the game’s enduring cultural impact. Such discoveries remind us that gaming history is kept alive not only through digital but also through physical memories.
