Move to Taipan!

As listed at WP:Requested moves, the game's title includes the exclamation mark; thus, the new name is more correct. A redirect to the current article already exists at Taipan!; it can simply be replaced with the existing article. PaladinWhite 16:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Taipan (computer game) to Taipan! as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 19:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is frustrating. Social media sites like Facebook don't process the exclamation as part of their link creation, which sends the user to a different wiki page. -Phil — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.67.168.98 (talk) 02:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source code?

Does anyone know if the source code is obtainable somewhere? I'd like to compile a version for UNIX but all I found is this BASIC code: http://www.taipangame.com/BASIC.txt -- Mfnalex (talk) 08:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

TRS-80/Apple ][ difference

I had the game on both platforms, the Apple version didn't have the ability to pay back more than you owed to the money lender and kick it into negative interest (at least the one I had didn't). --104.171.208.2 (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
