Crazy Taxi

Crazy Taxi (クレイジータクシー) is a video game developed by Sega AM3 and published by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 1999. It is a non-linear action/game, in which players drive a taxi across a stage inspired by San Francisco, picking up customers and ferrying them to destinations in the fastest possible time. It builds on previous experiments with this genre… such as Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders. This game was subsequently ported to the many consoles. And it stands as one of the more iconic and successful Sega franchises of the late 1990s and early 2000s, spawning several sequels, tie-ins and re-releases.
