UGH! Developer: EGOSOFT Publisher: Play Byte Year: 1992 Rating: 8/10 Review: UGH!'s programmers have probably played legendary C64 game called Space Taxi because the basic idea of these two games almost the same. However, Space Taxi takes up a place in future with flying cars and such, UGH! goes thousands of years back to prehistoric but this time you control some kind of helicopter taxi (man powered). Your simple duty is to transport cavepeople to places where they want to go.This might sound easy, but as a level based game, game's difficult level increases level by level. Also your "helicopter" doesn't like hard landings or collisions with walls.
Every level has a several taxistops next to caves where your customers (each level has about 2-6 cavemen who need
transportation) come from, after you have landed near to a person he tells you where he wants to go, when he steps into
your taxi you take him to he's destination - easy and simple. Fast service will give you more scores than slow flying but
be extra careful with walls when flying fast. When you finally get bored after playing UGH! too much you should try the good multiplayer mode, which allows two players with one keyboard. It's great fun when two taxis are flying around the level and taking passengers. UGH! has pretty good and colorful graphics and nice animations. Music and sound effect are also good. The most important thing, controls, are working very well - even in multiplayer, there was no typical keyboard jamming (this may happen when too many buttons are pressed at the same time). So if you're looking for a fun, original (well, the basic idea is from Space Taxi) and/or a great two player game, try UGH!
