Has anyone played space taxi on the C64?

it's a great game and i played it today for the first time since about 1992!

basically it's kinda like lunar lander, but you drive around a flying taxi, you have to pick people up and drop them off on different platforms, it starts off easy and then can get quite hard VERY QUICKLY! it even has voice effects in it, a very fun puzzle like game = )

heres a screenshot:


and another one...

The gameplay is good though the gfx arent mind exploding for me it was the gameplay that drew me to this game in the mid 80's.

A decade later there were a couple of similar games released one was a caveman same gameplay,UGH ? I think it was called would pick up passengers and drop them off at their destinations whilst avoiding flying dinosaurs and other hazards, but SPACE TAXI was very original Smile

Isnt that really what games should be all about? - The gameplay!

The graphics in space taxi were super simple, but it's such a great game to play. These days they focus more on great graphics, but if you want great visuals, why not just go outside? thats the best graphics you will ever get Smile

Yeah it was the gameplay that made that game and I guess thatsd applicable to most of the stuff we write about here be it on Computer or console, if the gameplay rocked then it is worth playing.

"Hello my name is Tom and Im a Retro addict" (okay your turn Laughing )

The enhanced gfx certainly add to a game but if the gameplay is crap to begin with,then i beleive no amount of enhancements will make it better....

Now as for Virtual Reality games, well just give me a choice,do I wish to meet a real woman or a Virtual spunk? I will pick the real woman (no matter how bad she looks) over the virtual one, besides Im ugly also. Cool
