Crazy Taxi was one of those games you simply pick up and play. Copy rights do differ the soundtracks across versions. You get what was the arcade game. But also a new version of the game called Original Mode. You even have a mini game mode that offers a little variety. This still among the most fun driving games I ever played. It's so satisfying to rank great in this. You also got some interesting cheats you can play with. You could get more money depending on which color customers are. I had this on several platforms it just never gets old or boring. Playing this is like one hell of a party. You never ever want it to stop!!! It's truly among the most fun Sega games I ever played. I'm still a bit sad of it's recent delisting myself. I do think people would absolutely love this game. It could sell well on GOG especially during sales.
This game is such an underrated gem. It has great characters, addicting gameplay, an amazing soundtrack, and it needs to be freed from mobile hell and put on mobile consoles!

I wish I could say this is "one of those games you simply pick up and play" but XboxClown beat me to it. It's true though, I was in no way a gamer when I first played it, I had no love at all for car games, but Crazy Taxi pulled me in instantly. It's very fun, the soundtrack is great, and the gameplay is simple but engaging enough not to let you get bored easily. For people who played this back in the day, I bet it'll immediately take you back to much simpler and happier times as soon as you hear the first song. A real gem <3
I used to play Crazy Taxi with my wife, and we don't often find common ground in gaming. This was a fun game that both of us would enjoy, and I will have The Offspring music forever burned into my brain, along with the imagery of driving a taxi, both music and car flying at impossibly breakneck speeds. It's impossible to not have fun.
One of those games you can pick up and play anytime. The more you play it, the better you want to become. You start learning some new tricks and when you get good with them, you feel like a true champ. It feels crazy good to get good in this game.
Those games also need your vote!

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

Time Crisis
Time CrisisTime Crisis is a light gun shooter arcade game released by Namco in December 1995. It was later ported for the PlayStation in 1997, bundled with the Guncon light gun controller. Time Crisis is a three-dimensional first person rail shooter similar to Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead installments, in which the player holds a light gun and goes through the motions of firing at on-screen enemies. Time Crisis is best known for its cover system, in which players can duck behind cover to avoid enemy fire and reload his weapon. There are three stages, each consisting of three areas and a boss battle. Unique features are described here in: A foot pedal which performs multiple functions: when the pedal is released, the player takes cover to conserve hit points while reloading the gun. While the pedal is released, the player cannot attack. In console conversions, a button command replicates the foot pedal's functions. The player loses a life if he/she is hit by a direct bullet or obstacle whilst not taking cover, with the game ending if he/she loses all lives. A light gun (introduced in Point Blank) which utilized a special memory chip to synchronize areas of the screen's image as the player rotates the gun around. The light gun also features a blowback function which simulates real-life gun recoil. A countdown timer, recharged by clearing an area of enemies. As running down the clock causes an instant game over, the player must take risks, shooting enemies rapidly and hiding only when necessary. A time extension is rewarded when an area is passed and there are also time bonuses awarded for shooting certain enemies quickly. The PlayStation port features an exclusive side-story mode, in which the player's performance, such as how quickly he can clear an area, affects the path he takes through the game, resulting in multiple possibilities.
