Super Taxi Driver: The Original

Moby ID: 53561

Description

As one of three taxi drivers, players have to pick up and deliver passengers as quickly as possible, in several different towns. Traffic wants to be avoided, and shortcuts want to be found. A quick delivery earns drivers a tip, and more bonus time to continue their shift. Various conditions including fog, nighttime, and roads covered by snow raise the difficulty level. There are 5 additional cars waiting to be unlocked by taxi drivers who can earn enough money.
