This guide is for the best arcade-game for the DC; Crazy Taxi 2. First, I want to apoligize for my English. I'm Dutch y'know ;) I've a dictionary within reach, so the "difficult" words will be all correct. If you find any errors in this guide, feel free to mail me... I know this guide is far from ready, so if you have comment, suggestions, question etc., just mail me. But be sure that you can't find the answer in this guide. It's very annoying to get a mail with a question that's allready covered in this guide. Don't send me spam, chainletters, hatemail, flames etc., or you will be in a world of pain. And don't think I don't mean it, because I MEAN it... and if I don't get you, one of my friends will ;) See the last chapter for more information on contacting me. A chapter will be marked with the following ascii-art: ________ _____/__ __/ / _/ / / / /_ /__/ /_____/ A paragraph will be marked with the following ascii-art: _____ ___/_ _/ / _/ /_/ /__/ Sub-paragraphs (Crazy Pyramid) aren't marked. They are pretty easy to find, so don't cry plz ;) _____ ___/_ _/ / _/ /_/ /__/--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1.2] About Crazy Taxi 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crazy Taxi 2 is the second coming of... Craxy Taxi (DUH!). The first CT was one of the best arcade-games I ever played and I enjoyed the game for many months. But after those months, I knew to whole game. I knew every spot, every shortcut, every cheat etc. So it wasn't fun anymore. Until CT2 arrived! CT2 is bigger than CT and more fun! The only thing I didn't like about the game, was the "hop-button". It's way to easy to play the game this way :| The soundtrack is again from "The Offspring". My favourite song this time is "One Fine Day". _____ ___/_ _/ / _/ /_/ /__/--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1.3] Copyright ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2001 by GrAwL.
