San Andreas has remained my pet game. I remember the moment when my cousin gave me an introduction to GTA Vice City and then, GTA San Andreas. Till then I only played Project IGI, Duke Nekum, Zoo Tycoon and other games. The date lies between 2008 and 2009 when I loaded GTA San Andreas on my PC for the first time and started to mess with that. With the passage of time I learnt every aspect of the game and from then, I have been a mentor of my friends with regards to such games.
Up to the last month of 2009, I was unknown of Cheat Book. But then I downloaded Cheat Book 2009 from CheatBook.com and went straightaway using the cheats written on it. It was in the middle of 2010 that I made the completion of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (100%). I must tell you that it is not only by passing out the missions to gain success over whole game. You have to complete other various tasks like unique jumping, finding hidden packages and horse shoes, robbing many houses and much more.
I have completed San Andreas 4 times and it is for this reason, I call it 'My Pet Game'. You can also use trainers to surpass the game. And I have attached a Location Map and 100% Save game with this article [See the attachments below]. Have full time fun while playing this extraordinarily developed game.
Note: The attached 100% saved game file is of .rar format. You need to have WinRAR application to access it. After you extract the file, do the following steps to have 100% of game completion:
1. Copy the file namely "GTASAsf1.b".
2. Locate "GTA San Andreas User Files" straight in "My Documents" folder.
3. Delete all the saved game files present in the folder. No need to delete "User Tracks" and "Gallery" folders.
4. Paste the file directly in the folder.
5. Open GTA San Andreas game.
6. Click New Game > Load Game > and then saved game.
7. Hit OK and have fun.Conclusion
GTA San Andreas is a very pleasing and entertaining game which can be put in any category of games (arcade/action/adventure/3D/family/fighting/casual). It is the successor of GTA Vice City and is likely to be very realistic. I hope that this article cum guide will help you in gaining mastery over San Andreas game.
