Tip 2 is a way to get quick points... Get on the subway and switch your weapon to flamethrower. When you get off the subway train, pedestrians get off with you. If you come out shooting fire, you get 1000 points each. You can repeat this little trick several times, before nobody gets off with you. It earned me several thousand points in a quick amount of time....

I know that this hint has been given for multiplayer games, but it works real well for single player games too. Just stand near the top of stairs, such as the bridges that cross the streets in this, and you can easily take out the police, since any shots they fire at you go below you.

I found a pretty easy way to make money.. It's actually very simple. You know those guys that are dressed in orange, travel in a group of five or six, and are singing that annoying music? Have your fists ready & bump into them, when they say "watch out" or "hey", they will now follow you. You will become their new leader. Anything you do (ie: zig-zag or walk in a circle) will be imitated by them. Then when you get tired of them, take out your flame thrower or machine gun & stop. Then turn around and shoot them, they'll run around screaming & you'll get a lot of points. This works best with the "hate machine" cheat, cuz you'll finish your level.

How to steal a police car and get away with it!  Steal a car (any car) park it in front of a respray shop.  Then kill three people.  When a cop comes to bust you, kill him and take the police car.  Drive to the respray shop and swap cars.  Repaint or change plates on the stolen car.  Now the cop's won't follow you!  Change to the cop car!  Its yours!

I've been exploring the bug concerning motorbikes, the Ctrl button, and control multiple vehicles.  I've now found a way to consistently control multiple vehicles in any city, at any time. 

I'm not really sure if this would be better on your bug page or tips & tricks, but anyway, here's how you do it. 

First, find a motorbike.  Steal it.  As you climb on the bike, press Ctrl. Now I find that this works best with the punch selected, but if you insist, you can use your rocket launcher >:] 

What should happen is that as you climb on the bike, your guy starts punching, as he slides off the bike.  If the trick worked, you wont be able to steal the bike again.  If you are still able to ride the bike,  
then keep trying. 

Next, steal a car, preferably, something fast or something heavy.  Take your new car and ram the bike.  Have fun. If you die, you will still control the car.  In fact the only way I have found to stop driving the car is to damage it enough so it blows up.  Also, if you steal the car that you rammed the bike with again, you wont be able to get out. 
Happy Hunting.

TooooL submitted the tip to take cars to the docks for money, and he reckons that the guy gets angry and won't take any more after a while. The bloke will take more but only if his 'dump' square is free. To check this, get out of the car, and stand so you can see the barge. If the car you last gave him is in the area nearest the crane arm (usually the bottom left corner). Then go for a walk until the barge is out of sight. Then come back, and you should be able to dump your car. The bloke doesn't accept limo's, 
fire trucks, coaches or tankers, though.  To do this and get loads of money without getting cops on you, nick loads of sports cars and park them away from the crane in an empty area. Do this to about 20 cars, then nick a few tankers, buses etc. and build a barrier so that the cops can't get to your cars or the crane. Cash all the cars, and as long as the barrier is built a little way away, the cops just sit in their 
cars doing nothing! 
Submitted by Ashworth 

Bob Giff has submitted a tip to destroy police cars by allowing them to smash into the back of your Coach. This also works in a fire truck and a tanker. 

Another way to kill loads of people - Park your (very fast) car on the pavement, and walk into the middle of the road (Best if road is a 4 lane-er). Use your machine gun to blow cars up. Keep doing it for ages and do it to the cops. Then either drive away into a respray shop, or nick the fire engine when it turns up!

I have found that when you are in a fast car and need to get some place in a hurry using the brake when turning is a good way to get through turns fast. That way you don't have to take the turn wide a lose 
valuable time. 
Submitted by Bomberman 

If you own a slow machine (486DX2-66) or similar, you have probably turned sound off to make the game run faster. However, you will not hear the car going to pieces that way, just sort of feel it getting slower.  The PORKCHARSUI cheat may help you here: pressing C while the cheat is active will add a display that shows you the exact damage sustained, among other things.

To emergency stop, press brake and reverse at the same time. This tends not to work at low speeds.

Top Things To Do In Cannonball Multiplayer Races: 

Rather than jumping in the nearest vehicle, get to someone else's door after they've just got in.  Then press ENTER, and drag them out of their car!  After this, the choice is yours, but personally I find reversing over them, ramming the remaining car out the way and speeding off always has that little touch of class. 

Note the same thing is also a good tactic against 'Maniac in a fire engine' syndrome.  I've seen so many poor, defenseless little cars taken out by the fire truck (when the target doesn't have a machine gun to 
stitch the truck, large target that it is, up properly).  Get out of your car before it gets completely caned, do that old duckin'-and-a-divin' routine round and under the fire truck under the driver has to reverse off something, then drag him out of his own cab and teach him a damn good lesson. 

And Doom syndrome? 

Anyone ever played Doom so much multiplayer you agreed to 'all meet in the courtyard for a fist fight', and someone brings a rocket launcher (and promptly incurs the wrath of everyone)?  Well, we found out recently GTA has the same syndrome - it's called bringing a Beast GTS and a knowledge of the hand brake key. 
Submitted by Fletch 

This is more of a trick than a tip.  Have you ever wanted to drive a boat in the water in GTA?  In Liberty city and possibly others there is a way to do it.  First, ya hafta change your starting vehicle in the mission.ini file (you can see how do do that in the hacking section) and change your car to number 13  - the boat.  Start up "Gangsta Bang" and then drive the boat very carefully to any spot that has an opening onto the water, where you or a car would normally fall into the water.  Drive the boat very slowly off and you should have a boat sitting right on the water, ready do drive around

When being chased on foot by police, try jumping over cars going in the opposite direction. The cops don't jump over cars. Also, if you get fed up of running, try running backwards, and fire your weapon at them, it gives you more chances to shoot them. The cop cars are the best for long police chases. 
Submitted by Peter Morgan 

I'm not sure if this is the same in the PC version of GTA, but in the Playstation version... 
While playing San Andreas part one, you are asked to pick someone up after a bank job.  As soon as you do this the cops will be on your ass big style.  To get the cops off your back, drive around to the other side of the bank where you will find a crate, containing a Police Bribe, hey presto no more cops.

I found out that if you steal a bus (coach) and the cops are after you they try to ram you from behind and 
they explode.

When you start the first mission at Liberty City get into the train press Ctrl and go back wards this will slam into the other train and blow up all the cars and people near it, through the ground.

It is possible to destroy all the cars!!! 
How did I do it? 
1. I parked 20 cars over the road, destroyed them. 
2. Parked 40 cars near each other and destroyed them too. 
3. Then i did this over and over again.  
There are about 100-140 cars or something! 
After doing this it is wise to have a good car so that u can get away... otherwise u will have to run which is very slow! 
Submitted by Hellfire 

Here is a tip that i found out in San Andreas (both levels I think).  Go to North East Richman and look around for a green Porsche parked in a small clearing, get in and drive straight ahead, you'll go between two buildings, jump across a long strip of water and land just after you drive (fly?) under a bridge, keep driving straight and go as far as you can, you will hit the wall surrounding the police impound yard, and you'll get an "INSANE STUNT BONUS" message on screen and 40,000 points. If you look around for some multipliers so you have 6x then you'll get 300,000 points. 
Submitted by Terranova 

Press C in  the game after typing buckfast, and you must have all levels available to you, and your co-ordinates will appear at the top of the screen, along with the code of the car, its damage and your current speed.. enjoy watching the speed drop as you hit an un suspecting pedestrian. 
Submitted by Scott 

Try getting on a  bike, as long as you do not have any weapons out, and keeping the attack button pressed while riding. If you hit a car, you don't actually fall off the bike and roll over,  you just start walking instead.  This saves a few seconds when escaping from the cops. 
Submitted by Alex Jena 

In Liberty City, if you go to the docks and give a couple of cars for money, the guy gets mad and won't take anymore.  I found out that if you have a rocket launcher and shoot the car on the crane right after you get the money, then you can bring in more cars and even get points for blowing the car up. 
Submitted by TooooL 

In San Andreas City you can gain lots of points by getting the police on your tail (not too hard) and then walk up one of the foot-bridges over the double highway in the middle.  The cops will wait for you under the bridge where you can lead them on the highway and just wait for other police cars to run them over (splashshsh... and 10,000 points for one and 30,000  for the second stupid cop etc.)      
Submitted by HSL 

If you're making a pileup, or generally don't want any cops on your tail (sensitive mission, etc.), instead of running up to cars and getting in them, once the car has stopped, shoot it (NOT with a rocket launcher) and the occupant will get out.  You might have to shoot a couple of times.  You can then get in the car and it won't count as a car jacking, subsequently not acquiring any police after about 10 cars.  It is still a firearm offense, but police only come after about 100 shots or so!  

Tip for the Tip:  Try and shoot the car/truck/whatever as little as possible so it's in good condition and won't explode after five knocks.  Also, a flame-thrower (in moderation) is good for slow moving, or just out of reach moving cars, they will stop and run away for you. 

Another tip: 
Lay you're flame-thrower on to moving cars on highways just enough so you really hear the motor fading away, but not too much so it'll stop, or even explode.  Takes a bit of practice, but then there'll be a heap of beat up cars around for the cops to run into whilst chasing you! 
Submitted by Rett 

If you stole a police car, and have the police chasing you, wait till your on a long stretch of road. and when the chasing police car comes up beside you, right before his front end passes yours, cut him off, so he rams into your side, but keep the gas on cause he might blow up. but if you do it right you usually hit him about 5 times in the front. And that causes considerable damage, and as we all know.. Damage slows down a car.  You could probably use another car, but I've only got it to work well with the police car. 
Submitted by MyStiC 

This tip works best if you've already completed a few missions and have a multiplier of say 4 or 5.  On the cities with trains (i.e. Liberty City & Vice City) go to a train station and wait for a train to come along, then get in and kill the driver by pressing 'fire'. The train should remain still.  Then get out again and usually a group of passengers will get out with you.  Make sure you walk a few feet forward when getting out of the train and fire a few shots with a machine gun or pistol (it's a good opportunity to shoot some of them as well).  Most of the people will panic and run onto the tracks and electrocute 
themselves.  Quickly get back in the train and repeat the procedure as many times as necessary. 
Takes a bit of practice but it's worth it if you're fed up with the missions.  Eventually you get to a point where there are so many dead bodies littering the track and platform that they start flashing due to some sort of bug, but I've not managed to make it crash yet.

Okay here's how it goes people pull your car up tight beside a fence or I hate to say it *paper thin wall*

1: On San Andreas you can get on alot of the buildings by going up one of the ladders on a super bike and jumping from rooftop to rooftop. 
2: On the broken bridge in Liberty City you can walk around on the water by driving a limo off and sliding under one of the bridges.

I have found that you can drive down the middle of roads with jeeps as well as bikes if you center your 4x4 on a yellow line you can drive at speed without hitting other cars 
Submitted by GAZ! 

On the liberty city demo, right where you start, get a car and drive it straight to the railroad.  Just before the car touches the railroad, abandon it. (it can take a few tries, but it works) Try getting it as close as you can to the part with the fence at the south, where the locomotive can't throw the blown car aside. If you succeed, which is INDEED possible, the train will hit the burnt debris of the car, and if you did that 
right, will not be able to throw it aside. The train will stop. Wait around a few minutes and then, when the OTHER train will come from behind... Presto! It's train collision for you! 
Submitted by Tal Shoshani 

Here's a fun way to kill as many cops and peds as you want WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT OR CHEATING!! all you have to do is get a PUBLIC vehicle (bus, tanker, fire engine etc etc..) then find a nice LONG building that's near a highway, get up alongside it so the cops can't get at your door, the cops will run around in front, beside, and behind your vehicle, when he gets to close WHAMMO!! run him down!! the more cops you kill the more will come! I did this for so long once I had about 15 cop cars to choose from! this is really fun and doesn't require any skill (like not getting blown up by your own rocket launcher) 
Submitted by Spear 

This best works on Liberty City right near the start where the train station is.  Have a car waiting then get out and wait for the train. When it comes go in by pressing ENTER then you can press CTRL to hijack the train. You can now get out again by pressing ENTER then get in again and hijack it again. The good thing is you get points every time you hijack it and you seem to get infinite pedestrians coming out of the train! The car? Once you've had enough stop going in and out and get in the car and chase all the peds on to the railway! This  is really cool with a high bonus multiplier and you can get $100,000 quickly.

In reference to Chris' tip  on typing a cheat name (next tip on this page), starting a game, then exiting to enter another name - This is not needed.  Simply enter your first chosen cheatname, like buckfast, and hit enter.  Don't select the person, but instead hit delete to re-enter the name and enter any other cheat names you want to use. I key in buckfast, suckmyrocket, and itstantrum one after the other and they work fine! 
Submitted by Andy Fogg 

These cheat codes are persistent between sessions started in the same game.  In other words, if you want all weapons, start a game with the name 'buckfast'.   Quit that game but don't exit all the way out.  Start another game with the name 'itstantrum'.  Now you have unlimited lives, and the '*' key still gives full ammo.  Combine this with 'itsgallus' and you can have all the levels too!

There is another thing to do with the religious groups.  Once you have punched them a couple of times, they begin to follow you.  Lead them to the train track and head straight for it.  At the last  
minute, move out of the way so you're not going to the track and they will carry on !!!!!

Here is a tip to net millions of dollars in a short amount of time.   

1. Locate a garage.   
2. Find a spot close by that has an open area at least 2 car lengths from the nearest road.   
3. Steal a bus and block off the nearby road to make line of cars to steal.   
4. Steal the cars and park them in parallel formation as close as possible to each other.   
5. Every fourth car or so go to the garage and change the plates so as the cops don't get wise to your exploits.   
6. When you have 10 to 20 cars blow one up (standing well back) with your machine gun or pistol.   
7. Each successive car that explodes increases your dollars exponentially.   
8. Welcome to the millionaires club and the next level !   
9. Oh yeah, have a fast car set aside so as you can get to the garage quickly as the cops will be all over you

The rocket launcher and the flame thrower are very dangerous weapons, but most of the time it is you who are in danger.  Make sure that you are a good distance from your target, otherwise you'll be the one incinerated on the pavement.  Another rocket launcher tip is to try and shoot the building near your target.  A portion building will blow up and anything near it will be blown up as well.

I found out that if you punch the leader of the Gouranga group about 11 or 12 times.. maybe more.. I know it took a lot, he'll start to chase you, sometimes he'll chase you to beat you up, or he'll just follow you around like a sidekick, I had two punching a pedestrian at the same time:) any ways you could do that with any of the members, but if you tick off the leader, they'll all follow.. kinda like follow the leader

If the cop's get to hot on your tail and you  don't want to loose those precious bonus points you just got after having  finished a couple of missions, you can in the city of Liberty, seek shelter in  the park, it's just above the phones where you pick up your first mission. If  the cops are following you in a car, simply enter this park, and you can outrun  them by driving through the park. The cops will not follow you unless they are  on foot. Also when you are being chased, use the alleys  for quick get aways.

The only way I've found to use the motorcycles over long distances is to try and drive either on the yellow center line, or to drive right on the curb.  It doesn't work all the time but it sure helps

To take over the train just wait at a platform and when it stops use the <ENTER> key (just like a car).  Once inside hit the <CTRL> key.  You can then stop and start the train with the arrow keys and open the doors with the <ENTER> key, but only at a platform.      
You can blow up the train and derail the cars if you can find the other train on the tracks and ram it, blowing you up as well.  Another train trick is to wait on the train platform until it empties, as soon as the doors close start shooting your gun.  This will cause the people to run toward the train and they will get fried on the electric track.  Besides being quite entertaining it will also give you points.      
Submitted by schu  

Try running over a train platform when a cop is chasing you on foot. You can make it if you run straight over. If you then run up or down the platform, the cop will take it diagonally and get fried. 10000 points!

Buses move quite slow at first but once they get moving they can be quite good for a police chase.  As the cops chase you they tend to slam repeatedly into the back of your bus which causes them to blow up shortly afterward, but causes your bus very little damage.  Buses can take a lot of hits in the front and back, but less on the sides so keep this in mind during the chase.  Fire engines, limos, and ambulances are similar to buses but they accelerate quicker and handle better.

Mission Tips

Warning: The following may contain spoilers that might give away missions 

Here is a tip to gain an extra life in Vice City, level1 (Bent Cop Blues).
OK, first go to the docks in South East Vice Beach.  Near here you will find a foot bridge, which leads to the island, near the docks.  On the island (power plant???) you will find a tank kill frenzy, take the tank off the island using the bridge to the south.  Note this is not shown on the maps.  When you get the kill frenzy another message will appear telling you to go to the docks in Felicity, for a special bonus.  Head for the docks, use the tank to smash cars on the way for extra points, but don't waste too much time as you only have 60 seconds to get there.  When you reach the docks a new crate will have appeared.  Smash the crate to reveal your extra life.
Submitted by Mick

In one of the San Andres' missions, you have to get Yu Fong's car from the Police Impound.  I found that by parking the police car (which you have to find to gain access into the impound) just at the gate of the impound, the gates will not close for the rest of the game (although the police car which you used might disappear).  Throughout the rest of the game, I was able to then enter the police impound parking lot and pick the car of my choice to use, when I happened to pass that area.  The benefit is that there are several fast cars in there and it will not constitute a car jacking if you took a car.

In san andreas there is a insane stunt bonus in north east richman. When you get this you should get a call on the pager. Then drive around richman and hey presto one monster bug kill frenzy!!! 
Submitted by Robert 

In Vice City I've found 7 or 8 multipliers, one on the military island North East of Vice Beach.  Most hospitals and police stations have goodies on top of them although it may take a while to go 
round all the stairs and bridges!!!  2nd level of Vice city has a good few Kill Frenzys.  Transit Van in East Meridian has remote control car frenzy and 2 tank frenzies (you'll need a bike for the one in meridian!!!) Machine gun frenzy in Banana Grove behind the paintshop under the bend in the rail track. 

Once you've gathered a multiplier of 11 or 12 you'll probably be on 3,000,000 points then all you need to do to complete the game is then steal a few cossies and hotrods!!! 

TIP : After a kill frenzy is completed on vice city pause the game to read where the bonus is, as it wont repeat the message!!! 
Submitted by Stangoe 

In reference to phillip spittle's tip to gat a tank in vice city you can also get to the island by going over athe footbridge next to the docks above the island this footbridge also contains an armor power up which means the guards are not a problem.

This is more of a bug and its very hard to do. In Heist almighty ,Level 1 mission 2, I was doing  the remote control car mission. When you blow up mummys car there is a delay before the "camera" goes back to your position. During this delay get out of your car and try moving forwards and getting into another car. you wont be able to see it so it will take a few trys. When I did this the camera pans back tothe white jeep. However I had control of another car (jugular) too. When you go to get out of the car you get out of the jeep.. You still have control of the other car. Thus I was on one side of the city while another car was causing havoc on the other!!!!  I think this is a bug in the game and there are very low chances of doing it but its well funny when you do.

There is a Kill Frenzy in San Andreas - Campaign 2.  Go to West Woodside and locate the police station there and go up and left of it.  You will find a Love Wagon with the usual Remote Control Car Kill Frenzy. 

Again in San Andreas - Campaign 2.  Go to the very bottom left of the map (West Sunview) and jump the gap you find there using a superbike or bike, a superbike is parked nearby if you need one.  When you land on the other side hit the brakes otherwise you may end up in the ocean.  Collect the token to get the following message...  "The doors to destruction are now open."  Jump back across the gap and head for either of the following locations.. 

1) East Marina in the Large complex there.  The gates open when you drive near them in any car. 

2) Go to West South East Richmans and head for the park, you will see a tank under a metal grill.  Head directly EAST from it and you will come to a fence.  Directly below you is a gate that is open.  Drive around to it (you will need to go into West Atlantic Heights) and walk in.  This leads you to the tank.

LIBERTY CITY 
Go to law island with a motorbike, there are 2 buildings, drive in between them and get to the water, you should be able to see the island you are aiming for by now, if you aint you have buggered it. Once you are across there are loads of crates there is also a motorbike..try it it is great 

SAN ANDREAS 
Use big bridge (golden gate lookalike) head towards docks on east of map, it is near a spray shop, you will have to go through a passage way in a building to get to a ramp that looks as though it goes into the sea..but it doesnt there is an invisible platform directly inline with the ramp drive 
across it, and nick the tank..and murder.... 

VICE CITY 
Head for hospital north east felicity, then go to footbridge by the beach. There is a green penetrator parked on the grass..do not move it.. get in and drive directly forwards as fast as you can..you will go through a gap and land on the isalnd..slam the brakes on or you will bouce off the fence into the sea..look out for the guards they are sods..have fun

In San Andreas if you get down to southern Woodside (Down from the Golden Gate bridge) there is a smaller bridge,  right of it, there is water and a dirt surface or something, use a car without  damage and slowly jump down on it. The car will almost break but it won't.  There's a stair to get up, but try this: Use a gun, machine gun or flamethrower  and blow up the car when standing just a little bit away from it and you will  turn on fire. Don't worry, this'll save you: The edge to the water is blocky,  just run diagonally from one edge to the other and you won't be on fire anymore.  This takes a little practice because if you are not fast enough you will drown.  If you use the stairs to get up there's a pool of water. You can do the same  there but there's another fun thing to do there: If you're chased by the cops, just  stand on the edge of the pool and wait until the cops close, then run over the  edge to the other edge straight through the water and the cop will follow you,  the thing is, he'll drown and nobody's gonna blame you for it. Sad enough you  don't get any point's but it's fun just drowning cops.

- especially in Vice City there are a few missions where you have to run over long pedestrian-only, walk-ama-things to succeed or to get some precious power ups.  This goes sloooow.  So I thought: why not try a bike?  And yeah: if you wanna speed things up in one of these walkie things, just grab yourself a bike and race on!  

- Continuing on the same thread: on top of one of the hospitals in Vice City are TWO "multiplier up!" power ups and in another hospital there's one in the hospital itself.  Unfortunately, for the roof one, you have to walk a very long walk up stairs and roofs, so grab a bike, dudes!

Running out of lives in the Vice City levels? Try going down to West Little Bogota. On the other side of the building north of the graveyard there's a ramp that will get you up on to a roof, get a bike and jump the roof, and on the other side u'll find a box with an extra life, but the trick here is to get back down from the roof. 

There's a "Remote/Radio Car" Frenzy located in a car to the very west of little Bogota in one of the alleys close to the wall thingie.

I found a tank that shoots in Vice City 1, just to the upper left of the starting point. It is enclosed within some fences and buildings, but if you use a bike or super bike to jump a gap between buildings you can get it and a portion of the fence disappears, allowing you to use the tank. There is another area in Vice City that you can do this in, it's in Little Bogota. I haven't got there yet, I keep falling off and dying. You can easily identify jumps, they're gray slanted buildings that remind me of military barracks.

There are two tanks parked in liberty city - chapter 2.  They are in an industrial bit in north west Estoria. But neither of them can fire though.

Get the tank by using the police car to get into the army base.  Now find a train station quickly and as soon as you find it wait for the train.  As soon as it arrives, drive up to the door, people will come rushing out only to be crushed by your metal hulk.  Now back up a little and aim straight into the door (before it closes) you will emerge safely out the other side with $20,000 and 40,000 points to your name.

If you cheated to select all maps , drive in San Andreas 2 to East Atlantic Heights , 1 quarter under the Hospital , there is a Monster Truck!  
Submitted by Mr.ED  

In the first San Andreas mission, you can gain extra lives by using the various secret kill frenzies that are littered around the city...  

By far the best of these is a tank YOU CAN FIRE FROM...  

To get the tank, cross the big golden gate bridge and immediately go East when you reach the southern shore. Now go back up to the shore and you'll find a building with a hole you can drive through... Keep going and you'll find a long peninsular on the other side of the building which you can drive along (also some shallow water) This'll get you to the tank...  

Another fun one is the remote control car bombs. These can be found in two of the car parks on the northern shore, hidden in a Love Wagon...  

The coolest one to find (I was totally astounded to find you can walk on building roofs) is the flamethrower kill frenzy. One of the missions involves you following a guy to a building with a blue and white stripped canopy and then stealing a beetle, rigging it with explosive and taking it back. If you go round to the south face of this building, you'll find some stairs up to the roof. The flamethrower's up here...

If you get the mission where you should make sure a dope dealer makes his delivery, you'll immediately get a mission to  follow a competitor, do so by foot, finding a car can mean failing your mission.  Now when you have tracked him down, to where he's going to. Find a car and drive around back, and you can with ease drive down the bastards shooting at you.  Don't try to outgun them, that tactic will only work 1 out of 4 times if you are  lucky.

Ok, I found out how to get the tank - you steal a cop car in Liberty City and then that allows you to drive into the army base, and then you get into the tank.

(In regards to the above tip)   
You can also use an Ambulance to do it.

Follow the lawyer: 
In the mission following the tanker truck mission in Liberty City, you are instructed to follow a lawyer and if he meets with his associates, you're suppose to kill them all.  The lawyer moves just about as fast as you do so make sure you keep up, otherwise you will fail the mission.  When he gets to his destination he will meet with a few thugs with automatic weapons hanging around in an alleyway.  You cannot drive a car in entrance to the alley that the lawyer took however, you can go in the back way and run most of them down.  Soon after you will have a large number of cops chasing you, so make sure you have a car at all times and after you complete the mission and run them all down.  Then, find a respray shop or a police bribe before the cops get to you.  Additionally I found that the last guy I ran down was far to the south of the original lot.  I don't know if his location is constant, but if it is, there is a respray shop due east of his location.

Cheat Code Update - Technical   
I talked to a friend of mine with the full version and had him try some of the other codes in the lines from the exe file.  Here is what we came up with.    

Here are the original lines from the exe file that contained the codes:  
herenarow/superwell/itsgallus/60317if/itstantrum/iamthelaw/stevesmates/    
/callmenigel/buckfast/porkcharsui/Heartthemold/iamgarypenn/iamnotgarypenn/    
hategachine/itcouldbeyou/suckmyrocket    

More Cheat Codes:    

buckfast: Not totally sure but if you hit the * on the numpad you will get all of the weapons, and if you hit it again after using some ammo it will set all of your weapons back to 99. (so basically unlimited ammo on all weapons)    

callmenigel: same as above    

porkcharsui: This is an odd one.  Its not really a cheat code but more of a diagnostic mode.    
the following keys can be used to do a variety of things.    

D: dumps the contents of your video buffer into a targa file.  e.g. It takes a screenshot in tga format.  Each one you take is incremented so if you take 3 shots you will find the files dump0.tga, dump1.tga, and dump2.tga in your gtados sub directory.  This did not work in the 3Dfx mode but in the Hi Res Mode it worked fine.  Here are some screenshots of the zoom out effect in jpg format.   

dump0.jpg  (180k)   
dump1.jpg  (207k)   
dump2.jpg  (207k)   

The next keys on the list are zoom in and out keys however each set zooms differently.  The K and L keys will zoom above the buildings however the buildings are shorter in this zoom, whereas the ] and [ keys zoom and stretch the buildings making them taller, although if you zoom too far out with the ] and [ keys your screen will begin to clip on the sides sometimes.  A trick we found is that if you zoom out first with the K and L keys and then with the ] and [ keys you can keep the buildings short and still zoom out even further.  But be careful because if you go out too far your machine will crash.  It might be possible to zoom out even further with more memory but the machine these were taken on only had 32 MB or RAM with a 4 MB video card.  I'm guessing that these are used for different camera shots in the game, sometimes you might want tall buildings and sometimes you might want short buildings.    

K: Zoom Out    
L: Zoom In    

]: Zoom Out    
[: Zoom In    

NUMPAD 8: Pan Up    
NUMPAD 2: Pan Down    
NUMPAD 6: Pan Right    
NUMPAD 4: Pan Left    

NUMPAD +:  Stop game and advance frame by frame    

NUMPAD *: All weapons with 99 ammo    

C: Current Status - If you are walking it will give you a message like    
PED ID AT (X, Y, ?)    
where X and Y are your current coordinates and ? is some unknown variable.  If you are driving it will give you a message like    
SPEED 0    
DAMAGE 0    
CAR ID 0    
AT (X, Y, ?)    

R: the screen flashes as if changing the res but the res doesn't seem to change.

You can access all the missions by going to the Player Select screen and re-naming your character to itsgallus.  To rename your character just hit the DELETE key.  You can then rename it back to whatever you want.  You will then have access to all the cities and all the missions.  If you later want to reuse that character but don't want access to all the missions you can just hit R to reset the character.
