While perusing moddb.com, I came across one of the dopest game mods that I’ve seen in a while. It’s a total conversion of GTA:Vice City that inserted a fully working Delorean Time Machine from the Back to the Future movies.
In fact you could only get the 1985 version at first, and in order for [...]
