Bickle, still longing for a real rain to wash the scum off the neon lit streets of New York City, is forced to take matters into his own hands to cleanse the city of filth, fraud and corruption.

Gameplay:

Taxi Driver puts you in control of the volatile and fearless Travis Bickle in a true to life recreation of late 1970's New York City. Through a combination of driving and on-foot combat missions, you must rid the streets of devious characters and put an end to their shady activities throughout the city.
