To continue with the ’80s theme, this is a pack to celebrate (in my opinion) the greatest soundtrack of licensed music from any video game ever, the sublime Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. There are several tracks from this game that I have always wanted in RB, so I want to get some in before it’s too late.
I’ve had a look at the top four RB-friendly radio stations in the game and picked what are (IMO) the most iconic Vice City tracks we haven’t got yet. Any of these, or any other songs from this list, would be eligible.
Flash FM
Bryan Adams – “Run to You” (I have my eye on this one)
Michael Jackson – “Billie Jean”
Hall & Oates – “Out of Touch”
ELO – “Four Little Diamonds”
The Outfield – “Your Love”
The Buggles – “Video Killed the Radio Star”
Go West – “Call Me”
Wang Chung – “Dance Hall Days”
INXS – “Kiss the Dirt”
Laura Branigan – “Self Control”
Emotion 98.3
Mr Mister – “Broken Wings”
Jan Hammer – “Crockett’s Theme”
John Waite – “Missing You”
V-Rock
Autograph – “Turn Up the Radio”
David Lee Roth – “Yankee Rose”
Tesla – “Cumin’ Atcha Live”
Alcatrazz – “God Blessed Video”
Love Fist – “Dangerous Bastard”
Wave 103
Frankie Goes to Hollywood – “Two Tribes”
Tears for Fears – “Pale Shelter”
Gary Numan – “Cars”
Thomas Dolby – “Hyperactive”
Corey Hart – “Sunglasses at Night”
Nena – “99 Luftabllons”
Of course, there’s also all the songs from the prequel, too. (I’d love to see “Human Touch” in the game.)
I’m thinking of August for this one, to give people time to pick and create their customs. Let me know your thoughts.

Ha god this is why I go back almost every year and play through Vice City. Still my favorite soundtrack of ANY video game.
I can probably handle a song for that. I’m looking at:
The Buggles – Video Killed the Radio Star
or possibly: Autograph – Turn Up the Radio
I think Far has a C3 release for Video with someone who covered it, but I enjoy the original a lot so I’m likely gonna start the up when I have time after my current pack is released. I’ll do Turn Up if another C3 author REALLY wants Video.
I would tell ya to do some research before you put too much work into these. There are at least 3-4 in that list that are either already available, or are going to be released shortly (don’t forget to check the Scheduler!)

There is also a version of Video Killed the Radio Star but it’s not the original Buggles version. I know a few are floating around in the Other Customs forum but AFAIK none of them are in the C3 database.
Ah, maybe I misread your post, but I got the impression you were planning to author those songs, not put together a release along with other authors (thinking of Billie Jean in particular).
I have Run to You as a full band custom – if memory serves me right it was done by Jdcow? Isn’t he still a C3 author? If so he could just polish it for the release I suppose.
I also have Your Love as a full band custom, and I could have sworn it was a C3 release from farottone? But I don’t see it on the database.
So, I’m not crazy, just a bit confused. I’ve had this song since December of 2013!

This was done by the GHtoRB3 team, but never released as far as I understand it. I confirmed with titln and he believes the rest of the GHtoRB3 would have no problem with it being released through C3 with credit being given. titln also advised that the chart needs reviewing as this was done about two years ago and they are not confident on the charts. I’ve played it a few times at my parties and never noticed any glaring mistakes, but I either sing or play the drums.
P.S. this is one of the benefits of hosting all this content, I have so many files that apparently nobody else has
Wow, that’s amazing, thanks Nemo! I’ll get to work on that pronto
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />So between Your Love, Run to You, Video Killed the Radio Star and (possibly) Billie Jean, I think we’ve got a proper pack on our hands. Awesome, thanks guys!
I’m thinking about doing Out of Touch but I’ll have to see if I can find time to do it!!I’m willing to collab on that if you want!
Pack scheduled for the 14th of August.
Nemo, do you have a link for that Run to You custom? A quick search of the forums is bringing up nothing but requests.

Like I said, I believe this was charted by Jdcow45…you should reach out to him to get permission and/or collab and/or share credits, whatever.
In the future, if you need me to read a message, PM me about it. I only saw that request because I came to post what’s below…
Before RB3 I was involved in modding GTA3 and GTA VC under the username Max_Pain
I might man up and do Laura Branigan – “Self Control”. If the prequel counts too I suppose I should do Queen of the Reich.
