could the kind gent who offered the real version of Mahjongg please email me? the version i ended up with was the one with the right tiles, but it isn't the right game... so my quest for a PC version of Mahjongg continues... -- Steve Elias (eli@spdcc.com) ((617 239 9406)) (((617 890 6844))) ()

I just obtained a Shareware version of MAHJONGG from Public Brand Software.
PBS is a Shareware catalog service which will distribute catalogs of all
kinds of SHAREWARE programs to anyone who requests it. You can order a
program or set of programs from them for a small fee. It costs $5.00 for
5.25" floppies or $6.00 for 3.5" floppies. The cost requested by the
author of the Shareware program is not handled by PBS. That is between
you and the author and each disk contains information on how to register
the software if you like it. Anyway you should be able to obtain a copy
of the catalog by calling 1-800-426-DISK or writing to:

The Mahjongg game is part of a set of EGA only Arcade games. The others
include ALDO(like Donkey Kong), BREAKOUT, EGAROIDS, and EGARISK. All
appear to very good implementations. The Mahjongg game is written by
Nels Anderson. Hope this helps.jbrown@jato.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Jordan Brown) (01/20/89)

The game by Nels Anderson is a lovely game, but it's not Mah Jongg no matter what he says. (It's to MJ much like Fish is to Poker or Bridge - same tiles, different game.) Mah Jong resembles gin rummy. The other (marketted commercially as Shanghai) has a big stack of tiles in the middle of the screen. PBS *does* have a "real" Mah Jong - it's on disk GA25.0.
