    Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone! 🏳‍⚧ I didn't purposely set out to release this video to line up with it, but a nice surprise none the less :) Feeling very visible rn. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the video!!

      Omg thanks for the reminder!! Happy TVD! I feel surprisingly more visible today so make sure to wear queer camo if you need to be stealthy at all.

    Excellent video Lexx. The one thing I'd say Simpsons Road Rage has over Crazy Taxi on consoles is the 2 player head to head mode. A tag game where you steal the passenger from one another's car by ramming them, and getting it to the destination before they can touch you again, was pure chaotic fun!

      Thanks Larry! That’s awesome, I saw the mode on the menu but didn’t try it out - That sounds really fun!

    mat selman and tim long (who both worked on the simpsons) wrote the dialogue for road rage. i'm guessing they were able to get away with a lot more in a video game than on tv, where they're constrained by limitations set by advertisers and the fcc.

    Smashing Drive and GTA Advance also featured taxi side missions & both were released on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance; no offense, but the Simpsons Road Rage for the GBA did not steal or rip off Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride...it mearly paid an homage to it.

      Crazy Taxi for the GBA looks better on an emulator with shaders installed.

    Imagine if Sega contracted Raylight to adapt Crazy Taxi instead. Or Velez and Dubail for that matter.
    And licenced music has always been an arse to deal with, and knowing Sega's track record with licences...

    Great video, I couldn't resist laughing out loud at that "Ape Escape" picture. Perfect choice.
    Also, I never put interest in the GBA version of Road Rage, but certainly looks worth of a try, I'll give it a chance. Take care!

    Imagine Jet Set/Grind Radio with Crazy Taxi GBA's perspective...God forbid the gray and/or the framerate. No, the already existing GBA version doesn't count, I'm talking behind-the-view style 3rd person. God it'd be so janky. But if the GAX sound-engine was involved? Hell yeah, tolerable musics!

    Actually in the us version of the game those confusing arrow things you didnt understand were in the american version circles saying things such as near and arrives basically saying how far away you are from the destination if ur wondering the only other differences between the europe and us versions are you get to select a language in the europe version and theres a small intro thats about it

    20:56 When it comes to "Mode-7-like visuals with slopes" there's also at least two other games that come to my mind (both also being on the GBA).
    Road Trip: Shifting Gears which used it a bit more subtly for hills or bumps in the road.
    And then Motoracer Advance which is basically an extreme interpretation of it. Ramping off of huge jumps with roads that stretch all the way to the horizon. Honestly one of the best examples of that kind of effect and also it's generally a very overlooked GBA racer.

    Might I add, if you toggle the drive/reverse button and kind of spam it back and forth you can boost your speed by a significant amount. It actually is pretty fast paced once you start spamming the drive/reverse button along with the acceleration button and interspersing it with braking on occasion.

    The killswitch gba game was insanely ambitious and i think not enough people talk about how nuts it is on how much movement you get for a gba game doing a third person shooter. It had cover fire mechanics. Grenade aiming and blind fire mechanics...
