Hey Jordan! Do you think you can talk about the Ratchet and Clank series? Size Matters is the first Ratchet and Clank game I played, though I’ve never played the others. It’d be cool if you’re able to.
I had the GBA port of Crazy Taxi growing up. It was my introduction to the series. I remember just driving town aimlessly while ignoring passengers as a kid.
Every time I went into a Dave & Busters, the first game that I played was Crazy Taxi. It was fun listening to the music while feeling like I could drive however I want to take the passenger to their destination. These were very good times.
The way I continually played Crazy Taxi and SSX3 (the snowboarding game by EA) on the original GameCube was peak childhood gaming for me. I'm actually REALLY excited to see this new iteration of Crazy Taxi since I currently only have it through Steam. It's hard to find a good copy for my GameCube now but 'll still be on the hunt.
I had the distinct pleasure of my parents taking me to Dave and Buster's as a kid, and getting to play the Crazy Taxi arcade cabinet when it was brand new. Well, calling it a cabinet is a bit of an understatement, as I seem to recall it being a seat with a peddle and steering wheel and a shifter to do reverse. My parents loved the cabinet so much that we actually got the PS2 port when that eventually came out
Nothing ever beat just firing up Cazy Taxi on the PS2 and getting slapped in the face by The Offsprings "All I Want" before just zoning out for one or two hours, like no matter how bad of a day you had, its physically impossible to have a wide smile while playing this gem of a game, even have the game stil floating around somewhere
Just seeing this video in my notifications got _All I Want_ by The Offspring stuck in my head. Crazy Taxi is how I formed my obsession with The Offspring that I still have to this day; whenever they release a new song or album, I go straight to Amazon's MP3 download store and purchase the new release. My favorite Offspring album is a tie between _Smash_ and _Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace._
I remember playing the arcade version back in ‘06 and it was a blast to play. Also, I’m pretty sure the Taxi franchise from France might be the closest thing to a Crazy Taxi adap as we can get or the Jimmy Fallon/Queen Latifah remake of those movies 😅😂
I loved the Dreamcast and it's still one of my favorite consoles. Crazy Taxi was one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast. Got it on Xbox 360 and it's fun, but something about the original and the Dreamcast controller made me like it better. I also prefer the sponsored stores to over the generic stores. I'm not sure how I feel about a reboot of the series. I feel the game came out in an era where the arcades ideas where creative and the graphics were still better than consoles. That era has died a long time ago. I'm not sure what they can do to make it appealing. I'd rather just play the original.
Played it first in an arcade on my birthday as a kid, got the ps2 port next year, loved that game but there was a lot that didn't make it into the ps2 version unfortunately
