weird? not weird, cult classic nostalgia! most today games are weird, cos they try to look realistic instead of looking like a video game has to look like - like a videogame! ;)

[WeirdVideoGames]

@shairaptor Heh, I'm not sure I buy that being realistic makes a game weirder. Also, I stand by my assertion that a flying rocket taxi cab landing on a beanstalk that grows landing pads is kind of weird.

Who ever made this game was partially insane.

[WeirdVideoGames]

@FinalStarmanDX I don't know about the programmer, but the guy who did the sound and music was nuts. In a good way. He passed away in 2004 and I only found out about him in researching this game. The guy sounds amazing. Look up Silas S. Warner on mobygames. The stories about him will astound you.

@Firefoxer4Vista What!? What does that have to do with anything!?

[Gacktfangirl2323]

awww, you're so cute.

I want to play  a 4 bit Kim Petras game

[inphanta]

You should do Frankie Goes to Hollywood for the C64. That game's as weird as they come.

@mlopinto2k1 I heard differently.. I think his narration was very funny. Lighten up sunshine!!

[LilyMc82]

I laughed so hard through this!! Do u also remember that Burger time game?? or something like that?? Cheers for the memories mate!

[TheDrummerDude17]

What?? They actually had the nerve to put a Nazi in the game?? Wow...I'm sure that offended someone.

@WeirdVideoGames

People tend to hear what they want ;)

I loved this little flashback of yours to the past, I grew up with the C64 with 100's of game ( turbo-cartdridge with at least 50 games pr. casette, I was a young little pirate ).

Nostalgia trip ftw. I btw only discovered you today and browsed through 1/3 of your "Weird"-series, like it so far.

And yeah, Space Taxi was weird, yet a classic.
