Space Taxi - Commodore 64

One of my favorite Commodore 64 games - creative, original, and makes excellent use of the C64 hardware. By the way, I'd love to know who Olaf Glatzer is.

Glatzer and Koerkemeier are badass!

[discolando]

@WUTZELFUTZEL Do those names mean something? I've always wondered...

Hey, What software do you use to capture your screen movment into a video file?

I once tried some, but it was crap and unusebale.

Sorry if I didn't answer this before, but the software I used is called Fraps.

@dogcatmouse23 It gets boring after awhile...It isnt a bad game....just repetitive. You can beat the game in about 15 minutes...then you go onto a higher level of difficulty on the same 3 game screens...and then you beat the game again...etc;

The only thing that Space Taxi is missing is the "game over" music from Rescue Squad as a lot of the music from Space Taxi is carried over from Rescue Squad (RIP Silas Warner).

did you get to the secret level with the castle wolfenstine security guards as customers?

That's cool, 1984 digitised voice output. I find this a bit more convincing than in 1981's Castle Wolfenstein, because here you can actually understand what they're saying =)

I remember typing that very thing into that very screen. I miss my C64, I'd love to have one again. Talk about your classic gaming system.

I'd love to get into a real life taxi and say "Up please" in that voice and just see what the taxi driver says.

Although it doesn't quite look it here (or now), but this was a pretty cool game growing up back in the day!

@Lennyfred I hear that and I'm down too! Lol.
