Hell Cab. Hell Cab for the Macintosh has just been released. It is, of course, a cab ride from Hell. Everyone has a taxi horror story, right? But you’re going to have the worst one yet. See, this isn’t just another New York cabby. This guy’s trying to earn his horns. (Yea, horns, as in the Devil, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Satan, the Dark Angel, etc.).

Maybe you can get out alive with your soul intact. Hit the Coliseum in Rome. Meet the notorious Nero who invites you to do lunch. . .with his lions. The trenches of Verdun steep in the stench of mustard gas and rotting bodies. Is one of them yours? Now tour the Empire State Building. All the way to the top. From there it’s all downhill.
