Mah Jongg 1.0

1987 · MS-DOS · Nels Anderson

MAH JONGG is an ancient Chinese game whose origins are supposed to date back some 3000 years. It has similarities to solitaire played with cards and also with dominoes since it is played with tiles. When I first discovered the game my initial impression was that the game would quickly become dull but having played it for a while and having given it to friends we've all found that it is quite addictive despite its apparent simplicity. This version requires a PCompatible with an EGA card/monitor. If you're still running an older display adapter I'm afraid you're out of luck. I had never seen a game that used the full EGA capabilities (640x350, 16 colors) and I thought it would be nice if there was one.
