Mah Jong Deluxe delivers this captivating puzzle game with more features and beautiful graphics than ever before.
From the depths of oriental ancestry came a historic puzzle game that took the world by storm: Mah Jong. Now, Mah Jong Deluxe delivers this captivating puzzle game with more features and beautiful graphics than ever before.
For years now I've held out for a real game of Mahjong, or better known as "Ma-Jiang" in China, where the game is supposed to be from.
Instead, every few month we get a new flavor, an exact copy if you will, of the Activision game from the Apple II days, Shanghai. Just like Egg Fu Yong, this dish does not relate to the actual Chinese people, but rather, is a complete concoction of the west. Although this page would have you believe differently. http://home.halden.net/vkp/vkp/origin.html
However, this in no way makes the Activision game Shanghai a variation, or even an offshoot of the actual game MaJiang/Mahjongg. The two just play like day and night. In fact for a Mac "Mahjongg" game to outstage all others, the programmer need not go further than to the source.
So here's the question: who's going to take the initiative?
Btw this is how a faithful game of MaJiang is played. This clip is from Konami's "Majan yarouze! 2"

Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry that you did not enjoy the game. I've just uploaded a new version without the time restriction. It may take a few minutes to update the links though.
Although the graphics are fuzzier than I had hoped for, this looked like a good Mahjong game and I had made up my mind to buy it after testing it. However, it quits abruptly after about 1 minute in the demo mode--that is infuriating and these people are not getting my money. There are plenty of Mahjong games out there, and I don't paying more when the seller is reasonable.
