A prehistoric-themed clone of Space Taxi (Commodore 64, 1984), albeit less varied in my opinion.
Help the caveman scrape a living (to keep the missus happy) by ferrying his fellow cave-dwellers around in a pedal-powered flying taxi. The controls are exceedingly twitchy, and you’ll constantly need to avoid smashing into rocks or unceremoniously dumping passengers into the river (not great for business). Naturally, the usual dinosaurs make an appearance, going out of their way to sabotage your trips.
In the original, refuelling was a regular necessity. Here, your fuel is food. Pick up a rock, hurl it at a tree, and it’ll drop a fruit or a chunk of meat to keep you going.
On the Amiga, there’s also Air Taxi. And on modern machines, in a similar style, I’d suggest Bug Academy (2020).
