Description:
MAH JONGG is an ancient Chinese game whose origins are supposed to date backsome 3000 years.
This version has similarities to solitaire played with cardsand also with dominoes since it is played with tiles.
When I first discoveredthe game my initial impression was that the game would quickly become dull buthaving played it for a while and having given it to friends we've all foundthat it is quite addictive despite its apparent simplicity.This program is designed for a PCompatible that can run in EGA graphics mode.If you're still running an older video card I'm afraid the game won't work.(Apparently many people do not understand the differences between EGA, CGA,VGA, MDA, etc.; basically, if you get a screen full of flashing letterswhen you try to run MAH JONGG you don't have EGA and the game will not workon your system.) When I originally wrote MAH JONGG I had never seen a gamethat used the full EGA capabilities (640x350, 16 colors) and I thought itwould be nice if there was one.
