"Prices should fluctuate."

by: Thracian

date: September 5, 2008

It was all really good with one exception: the prices are constant. I mean that removes most of the fun from the game. I remember playing the original Taipan! for Windows, there were no indications, prices were random and there were rare opportunities of really high or really low prices.
It was pretty cool to use the cheat getting that big ship and guns and fight with the pirates.

it's a bit boring. Especially if you go 2 a far planet

It's a little rough to figure things out at first, but it helps A LOT that prices don't fluctuate except when you hear about it, which means if u find a coupla good worlds you can make money fast. My only realy gripe is: you kinda figure out the deal long before you go through all the steps in solving the mystery, which takes a lot of the RPG element out of the game. But I do like being able to shortcut games if I so choose. Great job! Beautiful animation in the cut scenes.

The fighting takes forever and it takes too long to fly between planets. If you fix these it would be a 10.

When you have the best stuff the freighter only moves 1 time. You should make a game like this with engines but great game and addictive

for some reason some trade goods would be priced zero... Once I had the first ship (60 cargo space) filled with the 5000$ worth stuff I could buy the big ship!

good job. you revived an already good game. i have to tell you that the graphics are really good. the move from planet to planet is a bit long, though. a ten will be required.

I really like this remake, you guys did an excellent job. Some of the ending reminds me of metroid. The only downside was the battles seem to take way too long to finish

Overall, really great job!!!
