In 1999, Sega unleashed Crazy Taxi, an arcade sensation that captured the chaos and energy of city driving like never before. In this episode, we explore how director Kenji Kanno and Sega’s AM3 division turned the daily grind of taxi driving into pure adrenaline-fueled fun. We trace the game’s origins from Top Skater to its evolution on the powerful NAOMI arcade board and its breakout success on the Dreamcast. Our conversation covers its iconic soundtrack, real-world brand partnerships, and the sequels, spin-offs, and mobile games that kept the engine running for years. We also look at Sega’s 2023 tease of a new large-scale Crazy Taxi revival. Join us as we speed through traffic and time on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
