"Jefe on May 26th, 2010 at 9:29 am Looking for the name of a late 80s arcade game. I remember it was a motorcycle going trough various terrains, dodging things, and i think, picking up gas cans. it was viewed from an aerial shot. towards the end of each level, you had to dodge, vw bug looking, cars as you get closer and closer to the endof the level (city) At the start of each level, i remember hearing a horn being beeped twice. Any ideas??" We are trying to remember the same game as Jefe perhaps…

I thought I was the single person on this planet trying to remeber the name of a 80`s racing game!!! The one that is driving me crazy to find it is from the early of the decade, and there was a moment in the the game that an ambulance pass you by. I saw a few seconds of this game in a music clip from The Strokes (http://youtu.be/BXkm6h6uq0k about 24 seconds), and it all came back to me: the afternoons spent in front of that arcade trying to pass to the next fase... Does it ring a bell to someone? Wow!!! I thought I was the single person on this planet trying to remeber the name of a 80`s racing game!!!

You were a car of some kind(don't know if taxi or something else) where you had to drive around on a 2d screen and complete tasks. There was a time clock of some kind and to get more time you had to complete tasks such as driving through a particular restauraunt or picking up people or finding a particular location...
