Description

Taipan was a home computer game from the early '80s that was fun and addicting despite its lack of graphics. It invented the trading-game genre. Taipan was inspired by the famous novel of the same name.

This Android version is modeled after the popular home computer version. The infamous bug in the original game remains in this version.

• To skip most pauses, press the text shown.
• To speed up battles, tap the 'Fight' or 'Run' buttons again.
• Includes the simple "beep" sounds of the original, but with optional sounds.
• Tablets are supported.

Loads of addictive fun but the saved games keep disappearing. Also sometimes the screen doesn't blank like it normally would after a few seconds for security purposes while the app is running.
