Crazy taxi!

You know, I love this game on facebook called Crazy Taxi!! Its so damn addictive!
I love jumping over other cars and getting my way.. :)

There are so less no. of controls and not a very complicated game!...

I am the topmost among all my friends at a score of 55817.. but there are some geeks who have theirs at 206000 .. It amazes me how much of it have they played..

Basically the secret of winning in any video game, or better said, the secret of a rilly-rilly high score in a v-game is to be consistent and make NO mistakes! absolutely none!
and if you are lucky, you can actually get to that high score, unless ofcourse there is some pop up window which disturbs the screen.. or someone comes looking for you and wants an urgent answer to their 'hello? how are you"..
sigh.. it happened with me so many times, when i almost snapped at poor kinshuk.. :D

lol.. its nice.. i have had such addictions to a lot of games before this.. the biggest one being Tomb Raider!!! It was one helluva crazy time..! :)

However, i find these 'mission-oriented' games quite time consuming.. I like games that can get started in a jiffy.. and get over in a few minutes (unless it is your day to be at 206000!!)
they act like a little catalyst-cum-steroid to get you a break from work, and make your brain a lil more active :)

if you think about it, then video games are quite a thing to be invented! how cool could someone be to have come up with the idea of a v-game!!

a little googling tells me this about the first video game -

"A device called the Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device was patented in the United States by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann.[2] The patent was filed on January 25, 1947 and issued on December 14, 1948. It described using eight vacuum tubes to simulate a missile firing at a target and contains knobs to adjust the curve and speed of the missile. Because computer graphics could not be drawn electronically at the time, small targets were drawn on a simple overlay and placed on the screen."

all said and done, if you get a chance, you shud definitely try your hand at Crrrazy Taxi!
its sure to get you too, get that extra kick! :D
