149 - Crazy Taxi
Year: 1999
Platform(s): Arcade / Dreamcast
Designer(s): Kenji Kanno
Developer: Hitmaker
Publisher: Sega
"This arcade hit was a Dreamcast-seller, the kind of bizarre game that you could only find on SEGA hardware. The Dreamcast port of the game actually improves on the arcade release since it adds extra real estate to scream through at a zillion mph. . . But it still maintains those arcade roots as you cannot just jam on Crazy Tax forever. This is a skill game about not only getting from A to B as fast as you can, but also pulling off stunts in the interim to boost your bonuses. It wasn't until the casual/indie/XBLA revolution that you again found home games like Crazy Taxi that are designed for short burst thrills." - Levi Buchanan, IGN
