Well, if I were you I’d click this link and read our wonderful explainer on the whole Walz Dreamcast Saga. But the short version is that recently we learned the possible future vice president once owned a Dreamcast and played it so much his wife had to hide it from him. He later gave that Dreamcast to someone and it ended up in the hands of a ResetEra user who suggested Walz was a Crazy Taxi player. And now, as a perfect ending to this odd saga, Walz is a playable character in Crazy Taxi.

Here’s some footage of the mod in action: Edward La Barbera / SegaLa Barbera decided to add Walz to the game after reading an article about his Dreamcast online. “I thought it’d be a funny homage, like Bill Clinton in the arcade game NBA Jam,” La Barbera told MPR News.

Clips of Walz speaking were also included in the mod, letting the VP nom say a few words (as Crazy Taxi drivers typically do) while driving around like a maniac.
