I just had a look at it as its also on Adventure #4 disk 
and it fires up much the same as the TRS-80 game but thats as far as I've gone. I will have a look at the code in the New Year and compare to the TRS-80 code and see if there are any major differences.
You can play the TRS-80 version directly on the Microbee also. Wizged wrote a great little program called TBRUN that allows you to run any TRS-80 Model 1/3 BAS game, as long as there is no Assembler code within it.
Get tbrun_ss80.dsk from the Software/Games folder. You need to locate from the internet a copy of the TRS-80 Basic Level 2 rom, rename to TBRUN.ROM and copy it to the floppy using HOST2CPM.
Boot the disk ( ubee512 -a tbrun_ss80.dsk ) and type in TBRUN TAIPAN10.BAS. If your using ubee512 emulator and the game runs to fast, from the Console window, use -x 1 to slow it all down
Let us know how you get on with the TRS-80 version on the Microbee.
