I discovered that B. Watson (Urchlay) ported #Taipan to the #Atari8bit recently (2026). Obligatory screenshot below. It's still work-in-progress, but it's already pretty good.

I had wanted to port Taipan too, and I've posted elsewhere about my own feeble attempts. At least now, I can just enjoy playing the game on my Atari 800XL. :)

If you want to check it out, it's available at https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/taipan/about/

#BooksThatInfluencedYou
Day 13:

Today, I'm recommending another book by #JamesClavel, #TaiPan.
It is the second book in #Clavel's fantastic #AsianSaga.

It describes the rivalry of two English merchant families + their rise 2 power against the well-researched background of the #OpiumWars + #Hongkong's early colonial history.
It 1st got me interested in 🇨🇳.

#Books #Shogun

I bought & read the earlier paperback version of the book Shogun (1975) written by #JamesClavell even before the 1st mini-series adaptation starring #RichardChamberlain aired on TV in 1980.

I also bought & read the 3 other books in Clavell's Asian Saga series, including #TaiPan & #KingRat (both made into so-so movies) & #NobelHouse (also made into a mini-series).

So, after watching the new mini-series of Shogun that just aired on FX/Hulu, I decided to buy the book again.

They were asking ridiculous prices for the 1975 edition so I bought a newly released version for less.

I'd forgotten how BIG a book it was (1123 pages in the version that I just received) which is quite daunting but I'll tackle it in small bites.

I just read the prologue (setting up Blackthorne's arrival in Japan) & a chapter the end of the book (just after Mariko's death) & they suggest that the current mini-series was written/filmed much closer to the way the book was written, which (as Martha says) "is a good thing."

Drei Fragezeichen live. Über 2 Jahre auf den Termin gewartet, ursprünglich wäre Hamburg schon Ende März 2020 dran gewesen... 😬
