The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.
First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.
The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description
Taxi Run is a single-player, mouse controlled, shareware, puzzler. The gameplay here is very similar to games like Pipe Dream and Pipe Mania and the many variants they spawned. In those games the player had to alter the flow of a liquid by placing pieces of piping into a grid.

Here the pieces are already in place in a 9x9 grid but instead of being pieced of piping they are sections of road. The objective of the game is to change the path of the roads so that the taxi driver can pick up their passenger and deliver them to their destination. The player has two cars and must earn enough in fares within the time limit of their shift in order to progress to the next level. The roadways are already in place and are rotated by clicking on them with a mouse. When a roadway has been used it becomes unavailable to the player later in the game until the next passenger has been picked up. The game is further complicated by having a game area slightly larger than the visible screen which can make finding and dropping off a passenger a bit tricky, Also there are bridges that lead off-screen. If the taxi follows one of these roads it cannot return to earn more money so the turn ends. The game has much in common with Soleau Software's other games: Ant Run, Beetle Run, Spider Run and Wall Pipe.
