Space Cab takes Lander-style Flash games to their logical conclusion.

I'd label this game as NSFW. While there's nothing objectionable in its content, it will cause loud cursing that co-workers might object to.

Wow! It's like Space Taxi, except it sucks.

I have a 866Mhz G4 Mac on my desk; I can't even start playing this, regardless of quality setting. I'm sure it's great fun though.

Rather than play that, I'll stick to Flash Flash Revolution.

I liked this game - although it was insanely hard. If only there were configurable gravity, speed, difficulty settings.

It’s nice to see a difficult game without them having to resort to moving everything too fast or really tight time limits. So when you die it’s your own fault and you want to play again. Any idea what the seemingly useless gun on your ship is for? Or is that just part of the joke?

the giant ship right at the start of the level will explode if you shoot it about 10 times... the tiny cannon around the corner seems to take about 20 :^)

Yeah, you can 'esplode anything you want, except it costs space dollars.

lowlife, you've cost me an hour (the first of many, I fear) and the use of my hand.

That is not addictive at all. I only spent about, oh, 4 hours playing it. I think I have lost the use of my fingers.

Best. Monkey related flash. Ever.

I almost forgot, PG, I really like Space Cab! I just suck at it.

It doesn't have the cool C64 synth voices :(
