  • All the money!!

    I love this game. It takes me back to when I was in my single digits and Dad had just gotten the IIc. I used to keep the IIc running for days at a time, hoping a power failure didn't happen. I love the turbo feature, allowing the player to skip past hours of ship battle. And the auto save is a godsend. Today I essentially beat the game. I got ALL the money! Over 999 Trillion. It even displays in the bank line "All of it". I can keep playing, so now I'm going to see how big my ship can get, how many guns I can amass, and how long I can keep my shipping company "afloat."
  • Take's me back

    I used to play this game all the time on my Apple ][. Loved it. And this is so like the original. Now I play it all the time on my phone. I hope they come up with more of those old games.
  • Brings me back!

    I love this game. It is a great replica of the one I used to play in the late 80s. Ah, memories...
  • 12 turns for free...

    ... Then you pay. Well, 12 turns is enough for me. Good game; back in the day. In modern times, I'll happily blow my three bucks on something better although, I'd buy this for a dollar :)
  • Just like the original

    Simple fun and frustration. Just like the original.
  • Very true to the original Apple 2 version

    Played this game a ton in high school. This one is really true to the original. Fun time killer. If you are looking for high action, this isn't it. If you love nostalgic games from the early Apple days, you will love this!
  • Just like the good old days

    This game is just as addictive as it was in 1984 only less boring because of turbo!
  • No place for this app

    I've played Taipan since it first came out and either you stick to old school or call it something else. Disappointed
  • Wants more money! DO NOT BUY!

    Won't let me play anymore. Says I need to pay a $2.99 upgrade fee and if I hit cancel I can't play anymore. DO NOT BUY!!! Total scam. How does Apple allow this? Paid for it already on my iPhone 5s and now on my iPhone 6, downloaded from my iCloud, they want more money. Scam!!! And the game is not worth $2.99. You want $2.99 put out another better version.
  • Retro gaming masterpiece

    Running guns and drugs has never been more fun. Love the inclusion of the turbo function to speed up combat !
