1.Overview/Rules----------------

Welcome to @#%@#$ city, a little place plagued by boredom and excessive 
murders. Newly hired as a cab driver, you're job is to transport the most
people you can from a place to another or else you new boss will kick your 
ass, and then fire you. But you're not limited by roads, lights, stop signs
or whatever. If you decide to go by the schoolyard during recesse to save 
up some time and gaz its up to you. Of course don't expect the local 
authorities to let it happen the way you want.

Time and gaz are two important things. More times it takes you to pick up 
a client and take it to his destination, more gaz you're burning. And 
when you have no fuel left, you just ..die. 

Also, it is very important to remember that your speed must be BELOW 30Km
to pick up a client, or else you will just kill him, and at the same time
lose the money he would've gave you.. To find a client, just follow the red
arrow over your cab. And to drop the client, completely stop your taxi over 
the red flashing spot.

2.Basic Requirements------------

To run the game, you need a 486/66 with 8 megs of ram with. But I really 
recommend having at least a Pentium 133 with 16 megs of ram (this game
was created on this type of computer.

3.Elements----------------------

Of the many things you'll find in @#%& city, not all are bad or evil. 
Of the bad ones, the police comes in first. But not always, if you haven't
killed anyone yet, it will just take some energy off your energy bar 
(located at the top of the screen). If you made some victims, the police 
will chase you, and eventually kill you (they don't mess with your type in 
#@$& city it seems). So its up to you to decide if you're a nice or a
bad cab driver.

Circulation in #@$)@! city is awful, many people don't give a lot about rules,
or you.. if you get in their face, they won't mind running over your cab if 
it saves them a few seconds. Every time you get hurt by a moving vehicules, 
your cab will be damaged, if you hit a stopped or parked vehicule you'll get 
some damage too, but a bit less.

Hopefully once in a while you'll find some crates filled with happyness to 
help you in your quest. The energy crate refills your energy bar, the gaz 
crate will refill your gaz. The ghost crate will make you invisible to 
police officers for a fiew seconds, and the invicibility crate will have 
you hunt the police cars to trash them.

4.Controls-----------------------

As easy as any other driving game of this type

Up arrow: Accellerate
Down arrow: break/reverse
Left/Right arrows: ... well.. left/right?

                            related situations)
Control: Handbrake
M: Brings the map (N will close it)
1,2,3: Changes in game music
X: Destroy all corpse lying around (if framerate gets slow)
ALT-F4: If you wish to quit the game anytime

5.Known Bugs---------------------

If you find bugs in Taxi, please send me a e-mail telling what the bug is,
and what you did. 
 -Don't know if its really a bug.. but please PLEASE if you have Click and Create
  installed on your computer be sure you got the 16 bit version installed or else
  the game won't run full screen.
 -Sometime the destination or the client face takes a while to display.
