Sega has resurrected one of its classic Dreamcast titles for iOS: Crazy Taxi is now available for download from the App Store for $4.99 (it’s a Universal app that runs natively on iPhone, iPod touch or iPad).
Crazy Taxi came out in arcades and was available on the late, lamented Dreamcast console, though it would later see the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube and would spawn multiple sequels. In recent years, Sega has re-released the game for download through Sony’s PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
In Crazy Taxi, your job is to pick up passengers in an open-ended cityscape and drive them to their destination. You have to beat the clock to get their fare; you’ll get added bonuses if you perform crazy stunts along the way.
The iOS edition of the game features the original soundtrack with songs from Bad Religion and The Offspring (and support for your own music), 16 mini-games, Game Center achievements and leaderboards, and more.
I wish my Dreamcast still worked. Played this game a lot. Might have to check out the iOS version.
Ah yes, Crazy Taxi on the good ol’ Sega Dreamcast. Now I feel the urge to dig the old console out and relive some great gaming memories.
Before it was on dream cast it was a stand up coin op, lets not forget…
Look at the post again. Second paragraph, first sentence. Peter didn’t forget.
now if only other companies would follow suit. so many great computer games, even the king’s quest etc that would get huge nostalgia sales.
not to mention the original Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong etc
