Developed by Sega AM3 and first released in arcades in 1999, Crazy Taxi lets players take the wheel as one of four unique characters on a mission to wrecklessly pick up and drop off as many passengers as possible before time runs out.

The Dreamcast version of the game, released in 2000, may be the most well known, but the game is widely available on a plethora of other platforms such as Gamecube, Playstation 2, XBLA, Playstation Network and various mobile devices, making it an easily accessible (as well as affordable) choice for a community playthrough.

So let's all crank up the Offspring and Bad Religion and earn a Class S license!

Based on the research I did the Dreamcast version is the preferred platform. It seems that one didn't have any licensing issues regarding the music. I also simply wanted to get my Dreamcast collection rolling.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Crazy Taxi bowling? Oh hell naw...
Who am I kidding? Was already planning on breaking out the DC.

[TheSaintOfPain]

Got it for GBA, so yeah, I'll get in on this one.

[GrayGhost81]

Saint I put you on the list, but the GBA port doesn't have all the crazy box events, just so you know.
