Yeah, there was a lawsuit over Simpsons Road Rage.

Because God hates SEGA, obviously. Else he wouldn't have let the Bulgarian hack their new game on release day.

Because it fundamentally is an arcade game an arcades are all but dead? Because racing games (the closest equivalent I can think of) nowadays need to be hyper-realistic for the autist crowd or Need them fat gangsta career mode á la Need for Speed?

Wasn't that over the arrow at the top of the screen and nothing else?

>>15139306

Didn't Konami copyright loading screen minigames? Or am I thinking of Bamco?

>>15139298

>2 and 3 locked to systems that don't emulate good

CT3 has a PC port. Get it on The Iso Zone.

>>15139403

Namco did that.

>>15139403

Namco, it's expired now

Inferior version.

>playing the version with shit framerate, shit controls, poor sound quality, and ruined OST

For what purpose

>>15139298

Download Demul, Redream or Reicast. It's CURRENTYEAR, DC emulation isn't a problem.

Also, Crazy Taxi 3 was shit.

>Only fun for about ten minutes

>Extremely low in content due to being an arcade game

>Same two tracks looped over and over

>In-game advertising (this shit would have you hypocrites foaming at the mouths today)

Get those nostalgia goggles off.

That reminds me, how is XboX emulation coming along? Last I heard it was making small progress.

Or just, like, play it on original hardware? Crazy thought, I know.

There's nothing wrong with a Pizza Hut existing in a modern American city.

>>15139734

Also, I literally played it for the first time today.

>>15139375

This. Plenty of games have minigames that are basically Crazy Taxi, like driving a taxi in Grand Theft Auto. The thing is they aren't as good since they're not the actual focus of the game.

>>15139313

While it sucks that Sega was so butthurt about it, Simpsons Road Rage is a legitimately great Crazy Taxi clone, so much so that you can basically count it as Crazy Taxi 4. So hey, at least we got four of them.

>>15139326

Crazy Taxi functions closer to a kart racer than a racing sim.

>>15139734

I played both games on Dreamcast a lot, and recall having a lot of fun with lots and lots of extra challenges. They kept me occupied for a lot longer than ten minutes.

>>15139801

If you've got it, great. But scalpers are already getting those systems to be far more expensive than they should be, and it is only getting worse. It's one thing for us, but children growing up now will not be able to play them as easily as us.

>>15139891

Yeah, I played a lot Road Rage when it was new. That was my first exposure to this kind of game.

>locked to systems that don't emulate good

<what is Demul

What's it like being a normalfag who still thinks DC emulation is centered around outdated trash like NullDC?

>>15139418

Best of all they copyrighted it, and then stopped doing it. And now nobody cares about gameplay anyway so we're not going to see that stuff.

>>15148178

>How do you look up filed copyrights?

You probably mean patents or at least trademarks.

They're intentionally convoluted, vague and misleading so that whenever someone tries to do anything they're at the mercy of some big kike corporation. And you shouldn't look into patents because in most countries being aware of a patent means if you infringe it your punishment is specially severe. The only way to deal with patent laws is to ignore them and leave cookies in your front door so when the team of lawyers comes knocking they're in a good mood.

This of course doesn't affect big corporations because all big corporations hold thousands of patents so if any two of them decided to have a go at each other it would become a card game where nobody runs out of cards and there is no winning condition, which in turn means they all team up to fuck over the small guys. Patent law by definition is meant to fuck over the consumer and the small businessman.

>leave cookies in your front door so when the team of lawyers comes knocking they're in a good mood.

Is this an actual strategy? I don't mean literally, since I'm pretty sure law firms just mail you a letter that says "see you in court!" But is there something people do to cajole the plaintiff party?

>>15139929

What's it like being a normalfag who can't get the real thing and play the games over a decade ago without issue?

>>15157336

I'd rather not be kiked by collectioniggers

>>15139298

Just buy an old Xbox if you want to play CT3. It's just a mild update.

Crazy taxi was only fun for like a few hours of gameplay, and I played it as a kid in the early 00's.
