Game catridge image

There is an understanding for the need to illustrate the cover art of the game, and possibly the illustrations in the game manual. But seriously, a picture of the game's cartridge? I don't really see the importance for such an image for an article attempting to explain the contents of the game. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 11:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

King Courtney Controversy

It's obvious that King Courtney wasn't killed by Mike how else would he be able to be in grand theft auto 3, plus at the end he says he's all tired out and Mike tells him to leave.

Requested Move

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

There was no strong objection to this move. On my own initiative, though, I've moved it to Grand Theft Auto (Game Boy Advance), which is a little different than the requested move. I think this is necessary for reasons of clarity.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 14:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Theft Auto Advance → Grand Theft Auto (GBA) —(Discuss)— While the "Advance" does appear on the title screen, every other reference (including the boxart and the link on the publishers site) just call it "Grand Theft Auto". The only time they ever use "Advance" is when they want to clarify that they are talking about this version and not the first GTA or the GBC version. --TJ Spyke 14:33, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

This is a tough one because the official title is simply Grand Theft Auto, but the common name appearing in reviews seems to be Grand Theft Auto Advance (used in 6 of the 8 clickable links on the GameRankings page. I don't think either one is incorrect. Personally I prefer GTA Advance as that's the title I've seen more often. Bill ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:59, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think most reviews add the "Advance" part to make it clear they are talking about the GBA game (there were also PS1 and GBC games with the same name). I know the current title may sound nicer, but you even admitted that it's not the correct title. TJ Spyke 16:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't really concerned about the niceness, more about what is the most common name in usage. Sometimes on Wikipedia we use the most common name over the official name for extra clarity. I'm leaning towards Grand Theft Auto Advance but I don't feel that strongly about it as Grand Theft Auto (GBA) would be perfectly acceptable too.

Grand Theft Auto Advance → Grand Theft Auto (Game Boy Advance) – Article was unilaterally moved by a user, who then edited the previous page to avoid it being moved back. The games name is just "Grand Theft Auto", as per evidence in the above move discussion. TJ Spyke 18:48, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
