Taipan: The Classic Trading Game

Taipan is an Android version of the popular home computer game from the early '80s that invented the trading-game genre. This game was inspired by the famous novel of the same name. Despite its lack of graphics, it was fun and addictive. This Android version is modeled after the original game, including the infamous bug.

The game has a few features to enhance the gameplay experience. To skip most pauses, players can press the text shown. To speed up battles, the 'Fight' or 'Run' buttons can be tapped again. The game includes the simple "beep" sounds of the original, but with optional sounds. It also supports tablets.

Overall, Taipan is a great game for anyone who loves trading games. It stays true to the original game, providing a nostalgic experience for those who played it before. However, it may not appeal to those who prefer more modern graphics and gameplay mechanics.
