Taipan Returns
Once upon a time there was a game for the Apple II called Taipan, in which you sailed a ship from port to port, purchased and sold goods, fought pirates, upgraded your ship, and became rich. All with simple monochrome graphics, to be sure. And it was good--for its time.
With the Tradewinds series, Sandlot reinvigorates this nearly-forgotten genre with appealing graphics, a pleasant soundscape, and a "story mode" with lots of quests and a series of increasing challenges to keep you playing. The gameplay in Legends will be familiar to fans of Tradewinds 2, but here, you sail the world of the Arabian Nights, and can call on magic spells during play.
The developer says:
Get carried away in this latest installment in the acclaimed Tradewinds™ Series. Sail, trade and battle with legendary heroes such as Sinbad in the mythical Far East.
