Tim Walz added to Crazy Taxi

Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor, has been modded into the classic Sega game Crazy Taxi, thanks to developer Edward La Barbera. The inspiration for this creative project stemmed from Walz's reported passion for the Sega Dreamcast, specifically Crazy Taxi, which led to a humorous anecdote about his wife confiscating the console due to his excessive gaming. La Barbera has not only added Walz as a character but also included his running mate Kamala Harris, along with new voice lines and a Minnesota-themed game environment. The mod features visual tweaks, such as replacing palm trees with snow-covered pines and adding local landmarks. While the mod is available online, it requires a Dreamcast emulator for installation, making it less accessible for casual gamers. La Barbera likened the homage to former President Bill Clinton's character in NBA Jam, aiming for a fun tribute to Walz's gaming history.
