Being brought-up on Apple II i used to spend hours playing Taipan (and using an emulator i still do) today ive spent hours playing the updated version at http://www.psychogoldfish.com/taipan/index2.html

I'm personally a fan of classic games.  My childhood memories are of an Amstrad 286 where I remember playing games like:

* Space Invaders
* Prince of Persia
* Pacman
* E-Man
* Commander Keen

BTW, I didn't know what the heck to do in Taipen other than destroy those ships in the fight scene  :D .  How do you get money to buy items?

Ok sure.  If it's less than 250kb you can upload it here as an attachment.

Here is a copy of the origional taipan.
You will need an Apple II emulator (too big to put here but easily found on the web)
WARNING!! You must be an old AppleII hack or you won't enjoy it!!

Don't worry...I've got memories of typing away at one those small Apples with green screens.

I tried finding a picture of it on the Net but to no avail sad.gif . Anyway, you might be interested in this page: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=67
