easy to understand rules that are difficult enough to make you play over and over, great classic art work.

I really wish I could have played Taxi on a better maintained and faster machine, but all in all everything worked just the Dracula pickup coil took a bit to launch instead of launching immediately.
This game is all about flow, and if you get into the groove good things can happen. But, I also say, you're going to want to make sure you learn the rules. Because, otherwise you're not going to get any points. The game is stingy and forces you to do things in a particular order.
With that being said, once you learn the rules you're going to have a fun time. Its a tough, but fair, and challenging game. Its a nice crazy/silly/funny theme. Love the backglass. It's got humor and sex appeal, which is always nice. I like how the playfield is basically a road or highway. And you have stations where you pick up your passengers. Has a cool skill shot. Two different things you can shoot for. Either 100k or 25 k and that rewards you with a passenger.
Each ball you have to start over with the passengers, unless you get the carry over passenger bonus hit, then you start the next ball with the same amount as the prior ball.
Just a fun and fast paced game. No ball save, so you can go from good game to bad in a matter of seconds.

Theme is great, execution is pretty weird, but I think that's Anghelo's calling card. The game is simple but fun, easy to learn, but tough to master. Love the groovy music and the lightshows for the various jackpots are great. You can never go wrong playing or buying a Taxi.

The game that hooked me on pinball. I love this game. I like how simple it is, yet so challenging because you have to pick up everyone in one ball. The skill shot is unique, great flow with ramp shots. Music is fun, and the jackpot music and light show are great! The cabinet art is awful. If I ever do own one, it won’t be on the edge of a bank of tables. The cabbie on the back glass is kind of creepy... but I enjoy everything else about the game.

I played Taxi back in the days when it came out and loved the flow o Airport ramps over and over. Later 2014 a marylin Version was my first pin, sold it and hope to find a nice one day for an acceptable price ....I think ist a very good pin in a 5+ Collection.

Pretty cool game. The crossing ramps are cool and picking up the different characters is decently fun. Not too deep in the rules, even for the time so it gets boring after time but it’s fun to pop a few quarters into every once in a while.

Challenging game when set up hard. Can be "all or nothing" score wise ... you only get 20k per passenger pickup, and if you drain you have to start again. Aftermarket scoring roms are available which fix the jackpot and make the game better for tournament play.

This is the machine I seek out at shows. I log many, many games when I can find it. I wouldn't own it, but for its era, simply the best. Can be super fast, or you can pick off the shots.
