Ancient Taxi is a variant of Space Taxi that is most similar to Ugh! due to
its use of a prehistoric theme. The player controls a helicopter taxi that he
uses to navigate from platform to platform. On the platforms cavemen appear
with a number above them indicating to what other platform they want to
travel. The player has to pick them up and carry them safely to the right
destination. At the same time the player has to be on the watch out for
various threats. At times a rocket kamikaze flies across the screen that the
player has to avoid or the taxi will be destroyed. The kamikaze can be taken
down by picking up and dropping a stone on top of it. There are also dinosaurs
that the player has to handle in the similar way although dinosaurs are only
knocked out for a brief time before they wake up again. Stones can also be
dropped on trees and by doing so the player is able to pick up fallen fruit.
Levels also have water that the player can’t stay down in for to long.

The game has three game modes that vary in their difficulty: kid, arcade and
classic. The kid mode is easiest while arcade and classic add limitations that
makes things harder. In the arcade mode the passengers will be knocked down
into the water if the player touches them. If they are not quickly rescued
they will drown. The classic mode also adds the possibility to crash the taxi
when going too fast.
