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/

This snake is one of the most venomous in the world.

#Dinner tonight: in the last dinner I’ll be having with my better half for just under a fortnight, we BOTH tried #Taipan #MangoMadness Mild #Sauce on lamb sausages.

I was very disappointed. There’s mild & there’s MILD.

This sauce is MILD. It’s more like a chutney than anything else.

The better half said, “sweet, chutney - almost tasteless!”

I won’t be buying that sauce again.
👎👎👎👎👎

Strolling through the fields of envy
I take myself and my gray reality
toward a better perception
in the fast approaching horizon..

Hopped over the fence..

Landed on my feet
on the other side
where the grass
was allegedly greener..

Stepped on the #taipan
in residence there..

It bit me so deep in my naivety
all my best cliches bled out
leaving behind an ugly scar
of painful disillusionment..

The truth is never as good as we dream
