Sim Taxi - Lotopolis City Overview
Sim Taxi - Lotopolis City was one of those straightforward driving games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a simple simulation of being a cab driver in a small, blocky city. You just got in the car and started working.
You control the taxi from a top-down perspective, navigating the grid-like streets of Lotopolis. Your main job is to watch for pedestrians hailing a ride, stop to pick them up, and then deliver them to their requested destination. The arrow keys handle acceleration, braking, and steering. You can honk the horn with the H key, which sometimes feels necessary in the tight traffic, and switch the radio station with R for a bit of background noise. The game moves at a steady, methodical pace; the challenge comes from managing your route efficiently to maximize fares before your shift ends. It feels like a quiet, repetitive task, focusing on the simple rhythm of stop and go.
