Editor note

Is almost identical to Taxi Challenge Berlin. The city layout is identical and most buildings are the same. A few of the buildings that very clearly depicted Berlin, such as the Brandenburger Tor, have been modified. There are also some differences in textures and soundtrack. All the cars and missions are the same in both games.

MegaCity Challenge was apparently designed as an internationalised version of Taxi Challenge Berlin, although the latter has also been released in Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom, and possibly other countries. In their re-issue series of Blimb's Taxi Challenge games, publishers Greenstreet Games and Selectsoft Publishing re-released both games, despite the fact that they are almost completely identical.
