Quarantine
The original "Crazy Taxi". I played this game for years till I lost the damn copy-protection sheet. Anyways, pretty basic set up. You drive around picking up passengers, upgrading guns and repairing at the various garages located around town. Comedy mixes with mayhem as you could even eject unruly passengers via ejection seat. Clipping problems do a big part to sour the experience as its insanely frustrating to be stuck on a corner of a building while your getting pounded with bullets. Asides from clipping, a really solid game. Joe bob says check it out.

One of the first truly irreverent and unpretentiously violent games, Quarantine has achieved cult classic status among action gamers as one of the few games that provide pure, unfiltered, visceral fun of killing pedestrians and everything else that got in your way. The game even has a novel plot: pick up fares and various missions in your struggle to make out as a cab driver in futuristic Kamu city. Graphics and sounds are great by 1995 standards, and like the excellent Grand Theft Auto that followed in its footsteps 3 years later, you have complete freedom to ignore the grand plot as long as you like. "Postal" games don't get better than this. My advice: buy a flamethrower as soon as you can <EG>
