Looks good, though I know little of this game and it's history.

 

How's the speech done?  It seems a bit distorted as if using delay loops instead of Pokey timers (which would probably help it considerably)

Not sure, but I laughed when I played the video and wasn't watching the screen - I could tell right away what the character was saying.

 

I know in the C64 version, the speech is very similar.

On the c64 it sounds like all the voices were done by someone who was a heavy smoker.

About the speech, first of all I have to thank @shanti77 for his help 😊
I modified part of his code to have a good speech in different pitches and without spoiling the many DLIs.
I use Pokey but probably the result could be better using 'clean' recordings... Currently in my version I use the original game audio re-sampled (Encoding=Unsigned 8-bit PCM at 3889hz) and this could return too much distortion... I decided to use the original speeches because they have been recorded personally by John Kutcher in the 80s 😉

They sound authentic to the original, which is why I like the way you implemented them!  Awesome job!

Saw this via ZPH on YouTube. Super impressive! Wonderful news this game is finally getting ported over. Always good to see some Space Taxi love. 😎

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any Atari computers, so I just hope you please consider a future 5200 conversion as well. 🙏

 

Besides Atari & C64 machines, I can only hope it'll get ported to the ColecoVision and maybe Intellivision eventually.. Some of us have been dreaming of seeing this title on those platforms for years. 🤞

 

An NES port would be sweet too! Love me some Space Taxi. Anyway, great job and keep up the great work!

Just download Altirra emulator on your Windows pc/lappy and play away. Or buy an Atari. 😁
