About

Taipan! is a 1979 turn-based trading strategy game written for the TRS-80 and ported to the Apple II in 1982 by Art Canfil and Mega Micro Computers, published by Avalanche Productions. This is a Unix port of the original Taipan!, a simple but addictive 19th-century South China Seas trading game, recreating the Apple II version's gameplay on Linux.
