Homebrew "Cyber Cab" interest check.

[CPUWIZ]

I am not commiting to anything just yet, just checking. It would have around 6 or 7 levels. Maybe voice.

 

Could take forever. Like Adventure II.

[sku_u]

Hell yes!

 

I'm glad you're finally formally announcing this one. I never did get that binary file to work at the gathering

Whilst that bummed me out then, I kinda think it's cool that it only runs on real hardware.

[video game addict]

It looks interesting but what is it? Or what is gameplay like?

[walter_J64bit]

Is it going to have an overlay tell us more about the game?

[RangerG]

Looks good - is that a candy cane and lollipop?

[+Cafeman]

oooh that hurts.

 

I never heard of this game. Looks like you already got it up & running.

[Brad2600]

Looks good to me.

Waves hand across CPUWIZ's face and says 'You will finish this game in record time and release it on cart very soon. Now go about your business.'

Looks cool. Send me the ROM and I'll vote.

 

Just kidding. There are too many cheapskates in the classic gaming community. It would be a lot funnier if I could remember whatever those Neo Geo collectors called us Atari collectors. Maguffins? Flannigans? Stinky Dinkings?

[jetset]

I'd buy one!

I think the "copyright 2004" is a hint at that !

You have my vote to continue! Not very often that a modern game programmer decides to tackle a project on a classic system, and this game looks pretty interesting, even though I haven't played the C64 version yet. There's not enough homebrew development for the 5200 and I'm sure you'd do a top-notch job. Please let me know when I can add it to our In Development section!

I'll buy one when you get them made.

Thanks for that, B.P.!

[jnice]

It looks pretty cool so far. I'm not sure what it IS exactly, though.

[holygrailvideogames.com]

I would buy a copy.

[yuppicide]

YES! Space Taxi rules! If you could fit a crapload of levels in it then my interested is CHECKED! I used to love that game on my C64. Too bad I can't find an emulator to play it with. I downloaded one that was supposed to be good and can't get the game to start.

[legeek]

I would definitely buy it! Space Taxi is one of my favorite games! While I'd love for all 24+ levels to be on there it would be a nightmare to do that much at once. I would shoot for 8 levels though to mirror one of the three 8 hour shifts in the C64 original.

 

My old review of space taxi

http://www.abscape.org/legeek/r_spacetaxi.htm

 

Great variation on the Lunar Lander theme. Pick up people and drop them off on different pads while dealing with fuel and obstacles. Featured lots of levels and sampled speach. What makes Space Taxi so enjoyable is its attention to detail.

 

When you have a fare your landing better be smooth if you want a tip. The 'worlds' are varied, one for every hour in a day ranging from kind of believable cityscapes to surreal giant beanstalks and ping pong tables.

 

If you play all boards in a row there is a bonus world, although there is a cheat on the info page to get to the bonus right away.  Favorite moment: running over a customer and instead of saying "Hey taxi!", he just said "Hey!"

 

Cheers,

Ben

Quit being such a scanberg.

[joeybastard]

HELL YEAH! One of my favs from the C64 library. I'd love to play it on a 5200

[FABombjoy]

Where's the "Yes, but only if it comes with a box" option?
