Taxi © 1988 Williams Electronics Games, Incorporated.

As a cabbie, you have to pick up Gorbie (based on Mikhail Gorbachev), Marilyn (based on Marilyn Monroe), "Pin*Bot" (from the hit pinball game of the same name), Drac, and Santa, and take them to their destination. After you deliver all five, the jackpot is lit, and you only have a few seconds to pick up the jackpot!
