Space Taxi is one of my favorite games. I've considered getting another C64
just to play this game. An Amiga version would be great, I think what would
be most important in doing a port would be the feel of the thrust controls.
The original game had a great illusion of realism in using the thrusters, it
was neither too touchy nor too easy. You could kind of get the feel that the
vehicle you controlled weighed a few tons.
