    Hi, i was just wondering about this. I haven't played the original GTA in a couple of years as my little cousin stole it from me, but there was always this thing i could never figure out. If you were flying along in your car and wiped out that whole gang of bald guys who went around like the dancing babies in a single hit, GOORANGA or something similar to it came across the screen. Does anyone know what the significance was of it?

    From Wikipedia:
    "Gouranga (IPA: [guˈrəŋgə][1]) is a term popularized by the Hare Krishna movement as a word meaning 'be happy'"

    Getting gourangas in GTA always made me happy anyway :)

    (those bald guys in orange were indeed Hare Krishnas)

    One of my favourite parts of GTA :) Running over a line of Elvis' in GTA2 didn't have the same effect though.
