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.

1 ★No save option
5 ★Brings back memories! Excellent job on recreating!
5 ★This game does take me back. Thanks for preserving the game.
1 ★This version used to work, but it now crashes whenever I fight pirates. Also, 200 pirate ships is unreasonable. How am I supposed to kill them all? The original game had 50 max at a time, iirc. If the game quit crashing, I'd still recommend it for nostalgia.
5 ★fun old style trading game
5 ★excellent port
5 ★fun old game but lately not really playable
5 ★Love this game, enjoyed playing it in 1985 too
5 ★Thank You for porting this old 6502 game to Android it is historically accurate.
1 ★Resets every time you play what a waste of time
