Noob/First timer question

[Botul]

Hey, this is my first time playing gta 3. Right now I have 2 missions that I can play, one for Joey and one for Toni. After completing the Toni one (Salvatore's Called A Meeting), the Joey mission vanished and I can only do a mission for Salvatore. Can I go back here later in the game and complete that one missing mission, or do I need to load a previous save? Thanks in advance

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to start Joey's missions after going through some Salvatore's missions.
However, you should also be aware that the design for mission orders in GTA III is extremely bad and clumsy, thus there are several occasions where you can potentially skip missions you can't start anymore, which would lock you from getting 100% (but not completing the storyline).
I could indicate you the order of the missions if you would like, this won't involve any story-related spoiler, only the names of the contractors and/or the missions you should avoid before completing another one.

EDIT : after loading a save from a few missions after "Salvatore's Called A Meeting", Joey's missions are available to me so no problem on this side.

Oh, and also since I bought the trilogy pack: Do vice city and san andreas also have missions that you can accidentally skip and lock yourself out of 100%?

I still marked the mission-killers as spoilers, because I realized some of the mission names contain minor spoilers for the story-line. I left the missions you should pass in priority unmarked though. Anyway, here goes:

- Pass every Luigi's and Joey's missions before "Sayonara Salvatore" (Asuka's first mission).
- Pass every Kenji's missions before "Waka-Gashira Wipeout" (Donald's second mission).
- Pass every Asuka's missions before "Grand Theft Aero" (Donald's fourth mission).
- Due to a glitch, pass "Uzi Rider" (D-Ice's first mission) before "The Exchange" (Catalina's only mission).
- This is not a case of hardlocking from 100% at all, but I highly recommand to pass Level 12 of Paramedic before "Sayonara Salvatore" (Asuka's first mission).

And that's pretty much it, I will make an update in case I forgot any of those. Hope this will help you!

About Vice City, I'm pretty sure there isn't. You can skip a huge part of the missions if you pass them in a specific order but they still remain available at any time.
And about San Andreas, I'm less familiar with that game but I think there is nothing to worry about either. It's only GTA III that has some questionable designs in this regard.
