Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast is considered to be one of the greatest games ever to grace SEGA's last foray into hardware consoles. Released in 2000, a year before the rug was pulled out from under the Dreamcast, Crazy Taxi took a somewhat benign concept of collection taxi fares and driving around a city by adding a dollop of lunacy to the proceedings. There is no music in this video as all of it is licensed and if it was placed onto YouTube a copyright flag would have been slapped onto the video. Yes, even The Offspring have IP rights....*sigh*
This video is an archive of a Twitch stream that was aired on 10th June 2018:

Hi everyone its Paul Driscoll here AKA the Drisk. Now as a lot of our listeners at Retro Asylum were unable to attend the Play Blackpool show I thought when I was there that I would take the time to do an in-depth video of all the machines and event,I realise this is different from the more popular 5 min walk around but at least we are offering people something a little different.. I also tried to tell a little a bit about each game and my views as well which you may find interesting.
Hope you enjoy.
