Mad Taxi

Made Taxi is an open world racing video game developed by Kenji Kanno and his team at Hitmaker 
and published by Sega.[9] It is the first game in the Crazy Taxi series. The game was first 
released in arcades in 1999 and then was ported to the Dreamcast in 2000. Gameplay is based
 on picking up taxi customers, and driving to their destination as quickly as possible. 
Reception to Crazy Taxi has been mostly positive. It was ported to other platforms numerous
 times, including the PlayStation 2 and GameCube by Acclaim in 2001, and then Microsoft 
Windows in 2002. The game has also been re-released for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live 
Arcade, iOS, Android, and is featured on the Dreamcast Collection.[10] It became one of the 
few Sega All Stars on the Dreamcast, and also earned Greatest Hits and Player's Choice status
 on PlayStation 2 and GameCube respectively. Sega followed up on the success of Crazy 
Taxi with numerous sequels, the first being Crazy Taxi 2 for the Dreamcast,
 which included several gameplay changes.

The main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take them to their chosen
 destination as quickly as possible. Along the way, money can be earned by
 performing stunts such as near misses with other vehicles.[11] The player is
 directed to a destination by a large green arrow at the top of the screen. 
The arrow does not adjust based on obstacles, but rather points in the general 
direction of the destination. Once the player arrives near the destination, they
 must stop within a specified zone. When the destination is reached, that customer's
 fare is added to the player's total money earned. Ratings are then awarded depending 
on how long the player took to complete the journey.[12] If the customer's timer runs out 
before the player reaches the destination, the customer will jump from the taxi without
 paying the driver.

Players can select three-, five- or ten-minute settings, or the Arcade Rules used in the 
original coin-op version of the game.[12] In the three time-limited settings, play 
continues for the designated period of time, after which the cab automatically stops and 
no more points can be scored. Under Arcade Rules, the player starts with an initial time 
limit of one minute, which can be extended through time bonuses earned for quick deliveries.
 Console versions of the game also feature a mode known as Crazy Box, a set of minigames that
 feature challenges such as picking up and dropping off a number of customers within a time 
limit, bowling using the taxi as a ball, and popping giant balloons in a field.
