The day my mom bought this game for my brother and I we just so happened to grab KFC on the way home. I still remember the those delicious mashed potatoes and being blown away that my fares were just as hungry for them as I was. Thanks mom!
It really blows my mind watching this where you have more time at the end of the current run than you had at the end of the previous one. Even more impressive is where you go across town WITHOUT a passenger & STILL are able to increase your time over the next few runs. Amazing skills!
@@crazyfrank01 Sorry, I meant a customer run (a pick up & drop off is what I mean by a run) where you drop off the first customer, pick up a second, then somehow have more time after you drop off the second customer than you did when you dropped off the previous one. I am seeing the pattern you use but it's just so fast, it's hard to keep the map straight in my head. Also, I think Twin Galaxies doesn't allow emulation high score due to possible cheating, pausing, & controls which are different in an emulator than controls on a physical machine. Like for Crazy Taxi, I'm not sure how easy it would be to go between Drive & Reverse with the actual machine as you do it with a keyboard. That's likely offset by not using a steering wheel, but how to judge... Regardless, it's so much fun to watch this game played at such a high level!
I remember seeing the old record years ago and it pushed me to actually play the game for myself so the fact that there's a new record for such a long standing one is insanely impressive.
Congradulations!! This game is also a passion of mine. I hit a PR for me yesterday with 112 customers, and $59k! I will adopt your strategies and see how they affect my play, thank you so much for sharing your work :)
I prefer using the gamecube version, is there a particular reason you use the dreamcast version? Gamecube emulation is very clean and i do not feel the delays you talk about in the description
Thank you Skylor! I love this game too. I use dreamcast emulation because I downloaded it first to play CT2, then I used it to play CT1 too. It's easy to download a gamecube emulator? I had problems trying emulators beyond the dreamcast one. Congratulations too!
I'm still amazed at how this game looks all these years later played by a professional. It really looks crazy, no numlshit in the title of the game! It must be really fun to play this masterfully.
That was an amazing play! Each maneuver was so refined that I could feel your skill and passion in every move. I recently found an arcade where I can play Crazy Taxi on the original cabinet (it’s been almost 20 years since I last played!). I’ll use this video as a reference to improve my score. Thank you!
I had a buddy get a Dreamcast at a time when NO ONE had ever even heard of it at the time in the United Kingdom. I'm guessing he must of had other games but whenever I would go over to his house after school or whatever he would ALWAYS be playing Crazy Taxi. Like he wasn't a mean guy or anything because he offered to let me have a go like all the time but I was more than happy watching him play because he was a GAZILLION times better than me at video games!! I remember asking him one time why he never followed the arrows and he replied, "Because yes you will get to your destination following them but it takes forever so your better off learning the layout of the map and keeping it in your head. Plus you discover shortcuts etc not following the arrows."
This game really exemplifies arcade gaming at its absolute best. No unnecessary realism, just a timer and a score. Severely underrated game. I hope it never gets a remake or a reboot because whoever is in charge will get it wrong, of this I have zero doubt.
@@glitchedblood I don't think that affects... I think is a matter of the order that you pick the customers, and how fast you do it, but I don't know it yet! If I could reach 246 consistenly, I'll show you the technique :)
I had gotten to #6 in the world but sadly Twin Galaxies doesn't accept records recorded on an emulator so I'm trying to work for the world record on actual hardware. It really stinks these emulated records don't count because I play Crazy taxi so much better when I can run it in Widescreen and play with an Xbox Controller
I thought I seen a new strategy and then read the description. Guess rooftop Grandma is good to pick up early because she never gives me more than around 79 seconds. You got 90? or so.. I’ve been playing on PSP and still trying to beat my own $85K record 😂. I didn’t know they don’t allow records with emulation. Many other games do but those are much older. Probably because save states can be loaded and edited together cutting out the mishap’s in between. I’d like to see you do some console game play someday. Dreamcast, GameCube and PS2 in that order from best to worst visuals. GameCube has the better controller of the 3. PS2 would be the cheapest to set up including cost of the game though.
The grandma gives up to 100 seconds! It's the only customer that gives you 3 digits of time in Crazy Taxi 1. Yeah, cheating on emulators is pretty easy :( Anyway I'm not sure if it's possible to hide the using of save states on Redream bc there's a number that shows on the screen when you load the save state so it's kinda obvious. Maybe I'll do some tests. I'd like to play in console! Hope one day can do it but sadly I don't see it as a near future :(
very crazy, nice job man could u give me some tips in general im trying to get better by knowing were customers go so i can keep looping the town, is that good or i should learn to drift to i can combo more ?
@@ishan2534if I'm not mistaken, redream doesn't need that much power. Dreamcast emulation is pretty smooth, at least with the first titles like this one.
It's hard to explain... have you tried doing the drift with the brake button instead of the accelerate? Look at the keyboard at the bottom of my video and try to replicate it!
I do brake but I can’t seem to skid nearly as far, is this a drift you have to do immediately after a crazy dash/ limiter cut? Actually does it matter depending on the driver you pick? Cause I was trying with axel lol
How hard is it to get 20k with the default settings? The best I've done is 13k :( i ALWAYS get sent backwards at the lookout tower and the bus terminal... how do you know who to pick up? Is it entirely memorization? For someone who just wants 20k is it possible to just go for specific customers or colors at specific locations every time?
Yeah, it's a lot of memorization. For people starting out, it's good to just take advantage of the easy to remember spots. Like going from the stadium to the police station or other nearby stuff there. For me I think it's easy once you get to the police station to pick up reds until you end up at the bank or the hospital and only taking greens from there, since you could turn left or right. It's more about learning which ones will tend to mess you up bad. There's certain ones that always go a certain place, and ones that change, or aren't even always available to pick up.
Lol starting fare 164.00 US..... This game is set in the future after covid, people forget how to drive and coming back after 2 years, and the economy is slowly trying to rebalance. (aka the present).
Insane score!! Superb skills, but these strats simply couldn't be translated to an original Arcade cab, hence emulator runs not being in the same category. The precision that is required to do this, nobody could do on that jank wheel especially for this long ;)
Obviously they couldn't. But I would replace the world "emulator" with "other versions beside the original Arcade cab" because they are built different! A world record on a machine would be in totally different category from these record since the dreamcast version (and other consoles) is much easier :P Thank you for the compliments!
@@crazyfrank01 There's still no denying you are a CT god! Arcade is even harder for us on the UK as the gear stick is on the 'wrong' side. I'm much better using my right hand for control.
Hay alguna manera se saber perfectamente a donde te va a pedir un pasajero q lo lleves? xq vi q subiste a la pasajera de la parte de atras del KFC haciendo drift en 90° sabiendo de antemano q te iba a pedir ir a Popcorn Mania. No se si es por rng, o xq en la version de arcade es aleatoria, xq casi nunca me pide ir hasta ese lugar en esa version.
Porque los clientes tienen patrones! Cada cliente puede ir como máximo a 3 lugares diferentes, y siempre en el mismo orden. Justo ese que mencionás lo hice medio de casualidad, pero, por ejemplo, si yo veo que el cliente de Tower Records es rojo, puedo asegurarme de que el naranja de KFC me va a llevar hacia atrás. Hacer esto en todas las zonas del mapa te hace tener un control de los lugares hacia donde vas y así hacer más puntos 😊
@@crazyfrank01 ah ya veo. grax por la respuesta. terrible manejo del rng ese, es muy dificil aprenderse al 100% todos los patrones de los pasajeros, o hay veces q hacen lo q se les cante?
@@kaishmuper con la suficiente práctica se hace 😅 a veces se complica porque justo cambian cuando querés agarrarlos y te da otro patrón que no es bueno xd Si jugás ignorando los patrones te vas a quedar atrapado en algunas zonas y vas a durar menos
I'm choosing GUS and try to replicate first three passengers. How come you have already have 100 sec.? And second question - why my passengers (the same you chose) want to go somewhere else?
maybe you are playing on a different difficulty! My time difficulty is set at the easiest one :) The customers' destinations depends of the time passed, if you reach that customers in a different amount of time than me, the "customer pattern" will be different so they will want to go to another side.
@@KrelianPL it actually differs because of the total time played! it's like a cycle that changes every x amount of time (20 sec after start the customers can have a different destination from 10 sec)
@@crazyfrank01 I see, btw another question - can I replicate your 'customer pattern' by choosing another taxi driver (Axel)? Or it doesn't make any difference and only time matters?
IDK man, this doesn't look much impressive, money-wise. You won 178k but then you gotta pay 1-5M in property damages + spending the rest of your life in prison for multiple hit and run... Just joking, amazing run!

I've been curious to see how far Crazy Taxi players have taken this game since the last time I played it.
some of these drop-offs are works of art. 35:50 is my favorite.
You put the crazy in the crazy taxi.
Absolute nuts.
Folks paying $4,122 to go 8/10 of a mile... Just start walking already 😅
That's crazy
laziness at its peak lmao
And instead of taking you there, the taxi driver starts doing donuts
