Trivia
Richard Donner wanted to make this game into a movie, but quickly gave up on the idea.

Goofs
In the manual, Gus's taxicab is described as a "old, junked out 1955 jalopy". In the game, it is shown to be in good condition, consistent in appearance with other cabbies' taxis.

Quotes
Unknown: Hey hey hey, it's time to make some crazy money! Are you ready? Here we go!

FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE!

This game is a dadgum masterpiece! It's simple -- you pick up as many passengers as possible and get them to where they need to go in the amount of time you have, all the while listening to some great punk tunes!

I was never a big Dreamcast fan but I keep one in the closet just for this game... I can't help but break it out every now and again for a few runs. The graphics are dated but somehow feel *right* for this game. The gameplay isn't smooth, but once you learn the ropes you'll find it to be pretty fluid.

I really miss the days when a game this simple could be console seller, man. All the games that come out nowadays are expected to have a leveling and upgrading system + tons of microtransactions. If this game came out today, it'd probably even have lootboxes. Who needs that crap? This game had everything you needed for a couple hours of mindless fun on a Saturday morning!
