Taipan 3000 has long been a popular game on PsychoGoldfish.com, but I was never really satisfied with the artwork, sound, and gameplay.
This is the long awaited revival of that classic, with all new graphics, story elements, all new combat engine and more!
-------------
Sorry about the debt due date glitch, it seems to be fixed now, but it may take a while before you see the changes since this movie has had so many views and needs to be manually verified by NG staff.

I notice a lot of people freaking out over the debt.
Dar Ghul is a loan shark. He only charges 3% per day unless you are late on a payment, then he jacks it way up and starts sending bounty hunters after you.
Tip #2: if you start with the 5 guns, you can sell them right off the bat for quick cash. As long as you use the smallest ship, you are too small of a target for pirates to care about.
and finally, I'll leak out ONE cheat code:
set your comapny name to 'pimp my ride' and you'll start with the best ship and a ton of guns that you can either sell or fight with.

You people are retards
Why would pirates attack a small, tiny ship with nothing of value on it? And if you complain about not having money, GET A LOAN! or sell your drones.

Weak
I remember playing the first one and it seemed fun, but this one was too... shitty. Couldn't find any pirates to start, and for the guy who said "creator had this amazing idea where pirates don't attack smaller ships" is a fucking idiot.
Pirates would rather attack smaller ships because it's easier and less chance of getting killed. They don't fucking sit around saying, "Let's wait for a bigger ship!"
Still, if your into these kind of games you should check out Starport:GE (google it).

I liked it but
I have always like taipan because its alot harder to get started than other games of it's kind. There were a few bugs one that I found the third time I played was I had just saved a game and came back to continue next thing i know alloy and something else became free to buy on new terra. So you can imagine how quickly that game was finished.

Needs a couple of things.
It's good, now all you need is a chance to become a smuggler or pirate yourself and the game will be almost perfect.

Good concept, bad execution
Storyline triggers look like they were a last-minute addition. Sometimes, they fail to trigger and leave you without a way to advance the story. For instance, when someone asks you to pay them some amount, like when Bahlrog, or whatever his name is asks you to pay him $50000, and you don't, then he'll never ask you to again. The next storyline trigger won't appear, either.
Battles are too long. Yes, the addition of an Escape button helped with the regular battles, but with the last boss fight, it just took way too long. The gun turrets are completely unbalanced in comparison to the ships. It shouldn't take 20 minutes of extremely tedious and repetitive clicking to beat an enemy.
That Hustler game that came out 3 years after this was released is definately the epitome of what a good drug dealer/Taipan type game is. You should really make an update or new version for this game. It's got a good concept, but some minor details, such as the values for attack and ship HP really drag this one down.
Of course, I know that the developer of this game has either died or is just way too full of himself to come back to this page and read reviews for a game that's years old. Maybe someone out there in the Interwebs can make an update for this game.
I'd like to /r/ that update.
