UGH! TRAINER trainer to the game, might not work ... ughtrnr.zip ... 12kB
I tried to use it under win2000 and it didn't work for me. But it might work under DOS
This is an old game of DOS. So, you might not be able to play it, if you don't have got DOS, or your windows installed on Win95 base. But, if you will be able to play it, then I recommend this game. It is one player and two player game also. It is a lot fun and quiet easy.. so you can choose out of three possibilities : easy, medium and hard.
You are an elevator taxi in Stone Age (to make money to find a girlfriend) and you are transporting people (girls, boys and old men), to where they want to go. I wasn't able to take any screenshots, but will make a research through the net, and maybe find something. I haven't find an official page, but I found out, that it is a freeware, so I offered it for download right here.
Also, beside people you can meet interesting dinosaurs, which make the game even more interesting.
Controls. You are not able to change controls.
first player: arrows (up, down, right, left) and right CTRL
second player: W, A, S, Z (up, left, right, down) and left CTRL
You use CTRL for throwing or dropping a rock.
How to quit the game.
When in texts with Q or when in the main screen (options) by pressing CTRL+Q. You will get to the main screen (options) by pressing ESC key.

ONE PLAYER HINTS
- Water & Drowning: It can happen, that the people will fall into the water. Watch out, old man can't swim and will drown. Girls will swim longer than boys. You can pick them up, only if there is water surface and nothing over it. Just settle down on water surface and wait him / her to come. If you will take off without him / her, they will drown.
If there will fall two people into the water, you can save only one. The other one will drown.
- Rock dropping: While getting rid of the rock, it can happen, that the rock will fell out of screen, and you will loose the rock. To drop the rock, fly a bit over the ground and hit CTRL and fly away. If you are dropping the rock next to the tree, first hit the tree (and grap the fruit), then fly over the ground a bit and hit CTRL and fly away.
- Tree: The tree and the rock are there for you to obtain energy. If you ran out of energy, you will restart a level. So, take the rock, sit under the tree and by pressing CTRL, you will obtain fruit. My hint is, not to hit the tree too much or too fast, or the tree will ran out of fruit, and you won't be able to obtain the fruit again. There is the rist of running out of energy. So, when you need more energy, just wait, until the leaves will stand up, and then hit again. If you have no idea, what I am talking about, just play the game and you will find out.
- Diving: This is for some not so easy.. you will find yourself in some levels, where diving is needed. You do this by flying little more higher, then pressing the down key, then press to the left / right and then don't forget to brake, or you will find yourself in rocks.. I love to dive. Also, be careful, so there aren't rocks under water, when you dive.
- Bird: If he touches you, you are dead and will restart the level. If there's a bird in the level, I suggest waiting for him first to come, so you can hide fast, and then you can collect people or transfer them. The more levels you will pass, the faster they can show up or fly.
- Dino: Dino is a cool nothing minded dinosaurus, peacefully snoring somewhere in the rocks. He is absolutely peaceful, everything he does, is that by snoring he throws you on rocks! So, be careful while passing by him, or it can easily happend, that you will be restarting the level. But it is a good test to find out, how good you are in riding your taxi. ;o)
- Triopterus: Passing this prehistoric animal when playing alone is a bit hard, for beginners seems unpassable. So, take a rock, wait for Triopterus to come as far as possible of the person, you should carry, and while a little bit over him, drop the rock and land fast as near as possible to the passanger. And hope, that you will make it. If not, well... or the passenger will fall into water or you will hit rocks...
- No sign of tree or rock: Only hint here is, not to fly too much. By flying a lot, you will loose more energy, than while waiting on passanger or slowly flying and straight as possible or use also floating.
- How to pass the last level? Good question! I haven't passed the last level yet. Nor in two player game. I only saw the last show, when cheating.. but am still trying to pass the last level.

TWO PLAYER HINTS
- Water & Drowning: It can happen, that the people will fall into the water. Watch out, old man can't swim and will drown. Girls will swim longer than boys. You can pick them up, only if there is water surface and nothing over it. Just settle down on water surface and wait him / her to come. If you will take off without him / her, they will drown.
If there will fall two people into the water, tell your friend to settle down on water too. If he won't the other passanger will drown.
- Rock dropping: While getting rid of the rock, it can happen, that the rock will fell out of screen, and you will loose the rock. To drop the rock, fly a bit over the ground and hit CTRL and fly away. If you are dropping the rock next to the tree, first hit the tree (and grap the fruit), then fly over the ground a bit and hit CTRL and fly away.
You can also drop the rock to the other player.. ;o)) Just fly a bit over him and drop the rock. If he is empty, he will obtain the rock.
- Tree: The tree and the rock are there for you to obtain energy. If you ran out of energy, you will restart a level. So, take the rock, sit under the tree and by pressing CTRL, you will obtain fruit. My hint is, not to hit the tree too much or too fast, or the tree will ran out of fruit, and you won't be able to obtain the fruit again. There is the rist of running out of energy. So, when you need more energy, just wait, until the leaves will stand up, and then hit again. If you have no idea, what I am talking about, just play the game and you will find out.
When there are two players, you are running out of energy faster.
- Diving: This is for some not so easy.. you will find yourself in some levels, where diving is needed. You do this by flying little more higher, then pressing the down key, then press to the left / right and then don't forget to brake, or you will find yourself in rocks.. I love to dive. Also, be careful, so there aren't rocks under water, when you dive.
If it is possible, you can also drop down the passanger and the other player will just pick him up.
- Bird: If he touches you, you are dead and will restart the level. Birds in two player mode goes like this: First goes on player one, second on player two.. and so on and so forth. If you are second player and the bird goes on first player, he can touch you. It will do nothing to you. Same in opposite.
So I suggest waiting for him first to come, so you can hide fast, and then you can collect people or transfer them. The more levels you will pass, the faster they can show up or fly.
I also suggest to tell yourselves, who is the next target.. when you just fly around, sometimes is hard to notice who is the target...
- Dino: Dino is a cool nothing minded dinosaurus, peacefully snoring somewhere in the rocks. He is absolutely peaceful, everything he does, is that by snoring he throws you on rocks! So, be careful while passing by him, or it can easily happend, that you will be restarting the level. But it is a good test to find out, how good you are in riding your taxi. ;o)
The second player can sit behind dino and hit him by the rock. Dino will stop snoring for a while.. it can help to transport people and not worry about hitting rocks..
- Triopterus: When two players, it is easier to pass him. Let one player take a rock, wait for Triopterus to come as far as possible of the person, land on him, drop the rock and wait for the other player to take the passanger. If the Triopterus wake up, just hit him with the rock again. Just watch out, so you don't land at the tree... you might kill the tree.
- No sign of tree or rock: Only hint here is, not to fly too much. By flying a lot, you will loose more energy, than while waiting on passanger or slowly flying and straight as possible or use also floating.
- How to pass the last level? Good question! We haven't passed the last level yet. I only saw the last show, when cheating.. but am still trying to pass the last level. It's more fun!
