HSHIN The original game to all these clones is called Shanghai, published by Activision. It was the brainchild of Brodie Lockard. http://www.fregger.com/harvestmoon/shanghai.html It first appeared on the Commodore Amiga--otherwise known as the best computer there ever was, back when everybody else was doing 1 bit sound and 2-bit graphics. Imagine PCs with 4 colors. Apple II had 6. Look up Mobygames. http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/activisions-shanghai-series And this is a real game of Mahjong. It's a lot more complicated. Take a few evenings to learn the rules, but works great as an online game for 4. Any big game publishers want to get it right for real Mahjong lovers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong (Version 1.0) |
