old sega video game i used to have on a random hand-me-down disc and have been (on and off) playing for almost two decades.
there's three maps, each map has 4 characters to choose from and you can choose the amount of time you want to spend "driving" (10 minutes being the longest you can pick); choose all of that, now you drive your taxi, you do what a taxi driver does(pick customers up and drop 'em off) but you can jump onto buildings, off clifs, into the ocean, onto moving trains etc etc - it is, as the title says, a crazy taxi( there's also little easter eggs, like the Loch Ness monster swimming around in a lake on the outskirts of the game's version of Las Vegas).
i know all of the maps by heart, and (honestly, more often than i'd like to admit) i "play" the game in my head(when i can't fall asleep, when i'm on the bus and there's a traffic jam etc etc) - all i need to do is close my eyes and start driving
I’m surprised no one has rec’d this. I was obsessed with this game as a kid. I would get deep in a k-hole of creating intricate road and utility systems. Occasionally I would turn on the infinite money code “rosebud” and go nuts.
I can't overstate how satisfying this game was. It's just a third-person driving game where you're a Hot Wheels car driving on elaborate tracks in a virtual house and doing the sickest fucking flips off jumps. Every level is a different room of the house.
Sega is about to delist Crazy Taxi, Sonic, Golden Axe and other classic games from the app store. But they made the games completely free before they do. Download them while you can
i feel much more comfortable posting here, talking about the things i like, interacting with people and posts, it just feels more comfortable and free- i feel more like myself and that it's okay to be myself, i don't have this pressure that everything needs to be kinda "curated" in a specific way or "image" which is something that i felt with for example instagram. i like the sense of community here better than on other social media and i like the fact that it just feels much more creative on here than other apps( creative as in, the app itself, myself and other people).
