Crazy Taxi DescriptionA driving game where you drive a taxi cab, picking up passengers and dropping them off at random destinations.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsYou can perform a 'Crazy Dash' after comming to a dead stop by shifting into drive and flooring the gas, in one quick motion. You will take off at full speed! However this is a tricky maneuver so you will have to practice it until you perfect it!Courtesy of SegaArcade.com: Reverse the Game Play Game IntroductionThe game allows you to choose one of four drivers to drive the taxi cab: Axel, B.D. Joe, Gena and Gus.Game PlayAt the beginning of the game, you select a driver for the taxi cab. Next, you drive the cab around the city and when you see a person standing in a red, yellow or green circle, use your brake to stop and the person will get into the cab. Then, you earn money by driving that person to wherever he or she wants to go before he or she grows impatient and gets out of the cab.Whenever you make it to an area indicated entirely by green, use the brake to drop off your customer. You must try to get as many customers as you can before time runs out. The faster you get a passenger to the desired destination, the more money (and bonus time) you will earn. While taking a customer to the requested destination, you must follow the green arrow while avoiding on-coming traffic and various other obstacles. When time expires, you will be rated on how well you did based upon how many customers you delivered and much money you earned. The game ends afterwards, regardless of the results. Additional money can be earned by driving like a maniac - weaving through traffic, jumping off of strategically placed ramps, or the infamous downhill jumps (where you can catch some serious air, San Francisco Rush style), among other stunts. At the end of the game, your score is tallied up and you are awarded a license according to how much money you earned during the game:
MiscellaneousPart of Sega's "Professional Series" (over-the-top job simulations much like Midway's sports games.)VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYUncommon - There are 8 known instances of Crazy Taxi owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project. Of these, 6 of them are original dedicated machines, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and it is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - There are 8 VAPS members currently looking for Crazy Taxi. For Sale - There are 3 VAPS members with Crazy Taxi machines for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
