Is there a version of this for the Mac? I've looked in all of the usual ftp sites (except simtel) and can't find it. Thanks. -- Bitnet: pmrcjdb@uchimvs1 Internet: cjdb@midway.uchicago.edu

If you like Mah Jong, you will love the implemenation in Shanghai. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.

Actually, "Shanghai" is not an implementation of Mah Jong, rather it is a puzzle game that uses Mah Jong "pies" (Unless there is a new version of Shanghai that implements the actual game of Mah Jong). To my knowledge, there is no Mah Jong game for the Macintosh (at least not on this side of the pacific). On the other hand, "Shanghai" is a very entertaining game that would be worth checking out.

Or, you might look for "GunShy," which is like Shanghai, only better and FREE at better archives everywhere. I am grossly biased, because I wrote Gunshy. But MacUser and MacWorld have given it very positive reviews, too... =Ned Horvath= ehorvath@attmail.com

Beautiful graphics! (color required) And the sounds are nice too. The "collector's edition" of this game was reviewed some time ago (a year, maybe?) in MacUser--Accolade markets the mass- market version. I bought Shanghai for my unenlightened brother (he has a 386 DOS machine) for Christmas. I'd like to have it on my Mac IIsi, but calls to mail-order houses revealed that it doesn't come in a color version for the Mac and will probably break on the si anyway. Does anyone know if this is the latest word? --K -- ........................................................................... : Kathy Strong : "Try our Hubble-Rita: just one shot, : : (Clouds moving slowly) : and everything's blurry" : : clouds@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu : --El Arroyo : :..........................................................................:
