- OBJECTIVE
-
- Your objective is to pick-up and drop-off as many customers as
- possible and return to the taxi stand at the end of the shift.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- The game begins with a city consisting of a 9X9 grid of street
- intersections. Bridges leading off one edge of the city re-enter
- on the opposite edge. Moving the mouse arrow causes the game area
- to scroll. The taxi will warm up briefly and then start driving.
- Left-clicking on intersections causes them to rotate clockwise.
- You must create a path for the taxi to reach customers and drop
- them off. After dropping off all 5 customers on a level, you can
- earn a new taxi by returning to the taxi stand.
-
-
- COMPLETING LEVELS
-
- In order to proceed to the next level, you must reach the
- designated dollar goal. You may also be required to complete a
- specified number of drop-offs to proceed to the next level. You
- will be awarded a bonus level after every 3 levels.
-
-
- MAP
-
- There is a map of the city at the top of the screen that will help
- you locate the next pick-up or drop-off quickly.
-
-
- HINTS
-
- Turbo mode is automatically turned off when a pick-up, drop-off,
- or Town Hall is reached. Use turbo once you have prepared the
- taxi's route for extra points. Right clicks switch between the
- game area and menu (pausing the game).
-
