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.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★Not bad but I had no idea how to play this game...
5 ★Loved this game as a child. Thank you for doing this! After about four games it started glitching out. Tried clearing memory but didn't fix it. Every time I was attacked it would knock me down to 10 guns and only 5 ships attacking. Went to play store and found there was an update already. Installed the update and it fixed the problem. The developer of this game rocks! Can you kindly do a version of choplifter now?
4 ★What's wrong with the app? The ship even while empty is overloaded right after the first sea battle. Furthermore, the sound settings became ineffective. It's noisy whatever I try to do to make it silent. Including making my phone silent.
3 ★Love the nostalgia of this game from my youth. Seems to have an issue if you exit and save a game, though. Waited a few days and then came back to resume. Now every battle resets my gun total to 10 (which is okay, as no matter what the attacking ship count says, you only face 5). Started a new game, though, and that glitch follows (which immediately overloads your ship after the first battle).
3 ★Loved this app, but the most recent update the other day seems to have broken it. As soon as you have to fight any pirates you automatically have 10 guns, and whether you run or win, your ship is overburdened and the game is stuck. Hope they fix it.
5 ★The update is bugged and everytime you fight it changes the amount of guns you have to 10. Please debug your update!
5 ★They say It is addictive. I have been playing for forty years. No sign of addiction yet.
1 ★No save option
5 ★Brings back memories! Excellent job on recreating!
5 ★This game does take me back. Thanks for preserving the game.
