Start Game from Lookout Tower: To begin at the lookout tower, hold the gearshift in reverse while selecting a driver.To power-slide, suddenly throw the car into reverse then back into drive again while sharply turning the steering wheel. Power Slides: Like reckless driving (i.e., 'Crazy Throughs'), power-slides can increase your fare.Crazy Dashes are best used after accidents or after collecting fares. Then put it in 'Drive' and press the accelerator (If done correctly, the taxi will instantly reach its top speed). Crazy Dash: While moving forward, release both pedals.She will ask you to take her to the police station and pay you a whopping $975!
To the left, standing on a giant umbrella is an old lady. $975 fare: Make your way up to the roof of the parking garage by driving up the ramp at one of its corners.She will pay $700 for a ride to the bottom of the hill! $700 First Fare: At the beginning of the game, instead of driving forward, drive in reverse.(She will ask to be taken to the West Side Beach.) When you have arrived at the beach, drop her off and head straight into the water! Snatch the customer with the outrageously large hat. After arriving at her destination, let her out and make a sharp left. (She will want to be taken to the cable car stop). Here are the cabby's directions to the beach: At the beginning of the game, grab the person who's nearest to you. But to pick her up, you'll have to drive into the ocean! Pickup Swimmer at Beach: Snorkeling near the reefs outlying the west beach is a customer.
While still holding the handle, choose your driver with the Start Button.

TECHNICAL Cartridge ID: 840-0002C Runs on the Sega "NAOMI" Hardware. If the customer's timer runs out before the player reaches the destination the customer jumps from the taxi.
Ratings are then awarded depending on how long the player took to complete the journey. When the destination is reached, that customer's fare is added to the player's total money earned. Once the player arrives near the destination, they must stop within a specified zone.
The arrow does not adjust based on obstacles, but rather points in the general direction of the destination. The player is directed to a destination by a large green arrow at the top of the screen. Along the way, money can be earned by performing stunts such as near misses with other vehicles. The main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take them to their chosen destination as quickly as possible. published 22 years ago: Crazy Taxi © 1999 Sega Enterprises, Limited.
