I've updated the game a little.
- added sound effects
- fixed a few bugs (scoring, invisible road block barrier)
- fixed the main screen boxes (c64 ASCII is not the same as PETSCII)
- no pressing space after losing a life
The fare goes up as you drive, so you get more points for wasting time but you also use up gas. I couldn't find any issue with the scoring. The fare does reset while the score doesn't.
That's a good improvement :-) Thanks for the update.
I'm still getting score problems, though. I've uploaded a temporary unlisted video so you can see it (see the video description for the examples):
Also, I don't think I've ever had a fare to the Hospital, even though it's a named place on the map.
When you lose your last life it says "You taxi medallion has been", then cuts off to show your the game over screen before finishing the sentence.
