Mahjong In Poculis

This version adds a soundtrack to the game that randomly rotates as you play. You can turn down the music if you like. As ever, the sound effects are great. The graphics effects as you near the finish of each puzzle are fun. The images are great. It's a light memory matching challenge for when you're awake but want a simple puzzle game to wind down your head. The only complaint I have is the subtlety of differences between some of the pieces. For example, sometimes the color saturation is very low, making it annoying to try to figure out what's red, what's green, what's blue etc. Note that the game, although free, does have a set of nags for your to upgrade. That's only fair. Overall, very well done and worth playing.

I do like this game but wonder why MacUpdate is actually going backwards as far as versions go. The up-to-date one is version 5.62 which In Poculis has has and the Apple/Mac App Store has. This was just a notice to let you know since I actually haven't played 5.62 yet. I didn't want to put stars here because the one here is an old version.

This Version Is Even Better Than the Last version!

Without a Doubt the best MahJong game on OSX

Mah Jong is a 4 player game similar to Rummy.

Crashed first time out. I did get a code by donating before I ever tried playing. I'm hoping this was just a fluke, but will try playing later. I'll leave a better review if it improves next time out.

This game is the best Mahjong Solitaire that I've played on Mac, but it is more like donationware or shareware. From the developer's site "With this code: you will be able to play all the layouts using your favorite theme! you won't be redirected to this website anymore on game exit." And every time I quit the app I get bumped back to boards I've cleared several times.

The Developer answered my eMail right away and fixed the problem. This is a great app and well designed. I find it to be excellent in every way with a very responsive developer.

It fails to launch. Using A Macbook Pro with 10.5.8. Tried to launch it 3 times and then trashed it.

(25/2/2010) Beautiful graphics and pleasant Chinese background music. Takes me back to Mac0S 8/9 when I had a similar game. Really pleased to see this here on 10.6 A real must have for 'solitairians'.

Just for the record, "Mahjong" is actually a four player game similar to Rummy, except with tiles instead of cards. These solitaire games are merely amusements that other people came up with on the side. Ticks me off that everything on MacUpdate claiming to be Mahjong is just solitaire.
