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.
I bought this game on Steam a few months ago because Sega announced that they were going to remove a lot of their old games from the platforms (I don't know if they'll bring them back later through a better compilation), which makes a lot of games much less accessible. And it's a shame because this game, with its fairly simple and surprisingly addictive gameplay and the Offsprings music, really makes you want to come back to it from time to time.
The first time i played this gem was in a local arcade room. I didn't have any idea what is was getting into. The music, the crazyness, the driving, it was mesmerizing and frantic at the same time. By a few hours i forget about the world because of this game and his very simple objective: pick up, drive and reach the destination in time. Few games like this can be very chilling and awesome at the same time. Make it happen, GOG, i have complete faith in you!

It was probably around 2005; I picked up a cheap Sega Dreamcast console from a car boot sale. It came with only 1 game, Crazy Taxi. This game was so much fun to play that I was instantly hooked and played it at every opportunity for weeks. The game is so colourful and the soundtrack gives it so much energy. I picked up the PC version on CD-ROM from another car boot sale a couple years back. Sadly it would not run on my modern PC. My Dreamcast also died a while back so if I ever saw it on GOG I would definitely buy it.

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.

The Need for Speed
The Need for SpeedWelcome to The Need For Speed racing game. Here you'll find spine-tingling action coupled with awesome graphics. As you race down an alpine road in your choice of eight high performance cars, you'll be amazed by the detail and realism. The sophisticated physics model recreates the feel of the cars themselves; you'll notice the difference in handling, breaking and just plain power. Plan your strategy for each track, there are six to choose from during regular play, and each demands a different style of driving. There's also a bonus track if you win the Tournament. There are four game modes to try, with an option to compete against another driver over a modem. With different cars, different tracks, and different styles of racing fueling your need for speed, you'll find your addiction growing to a fewer pitch. No need to worry, when you crash and burn in the game, there's always another day.
