Taxi
In City
Sydney will never be the same
city again. After numerous attempts at getting a
drivers license, our main character, former Hong
Kong cabbie Lam Wei Hung, finally got one by
resorting to bribery. Little did Joe, the test
instructor who was persuaded to pass Lam, know the
amount of danger he was putting Sydneys people in.
In Hong Kong people drive on the right side which
is the wrong way to drive in Sydney and Lam seems
not to know this. His aggressive no-nonsense
driving in HK may have allowed him to speed past
stalled traffic there but it will only land him in
jail in Sydney. . Drive through a graphically
stunning city . Complex enough to make it
interesting; cleverly designed to keep it fun. .
Drive recklessly through city streets and enjoy
the chaos!
Controls:
The player assumes the role of
a street smart taxi driver who must pick up
unsuspecting passengers and drop them off to their
destinations. Fare paid by the passengers will
enable the player to buy a better taxi. Difficulty
is dictated by the transit time allotted for each
passenger. If passengers are more important, the
period allocated for dropping them off to their
destinations will be shorter. Games will have
different time limits depending on the type of
fare picked up. Better taxis will have super
acceleration functions. If a player uses this
function, his car will have greater speed that
will enable him to pass obstacles with relative
ease. For instance, if the player needs to pass a
bridge still under construction, the player must
use the super acceleration function so that the
taxi can hurdle the obstacle without any hitches.
Instead of points, money will be awarded for every
completed task. If the player successfully sends
common people to their destinations, $100 will be
awarded. If a movie star is picked up and
successfully dropped off, $500 will be awarded.
$2000 will be given if VIPs are skillfully brought
to their destinations. Direction keys (keys 2, 4,
6 and 8) are used for steering the taxi. Depending
on the roads in the city, key 2 is for driving up
and key 8 is for driving down. Key 4 is for
turning right. Key 6 is for turning left. If the
player does not press direction keys, the taxi
will decelerate. Key 3 is for super acceleration.
Key 9 is for braking.
