Starfish Island was originally called 'Star Island' in the beta version of GTA: Vice City, referencing a real Florida island. Even in the final game, Tommy Vercetti still calls it 'Star Island' during the mission 'Death Row' — a rare case where a character uses a beta name that made it into the final release.
