What about LINUX / UNIX? [Posted on 2007-11-04]
Up top, the information on the Amazon page says the game can be put on Linux or Unix systems, but there is nothing on the copy I bought that says this. Check this out, if you are buying to put on a LINUX system.

MahJong Challenge - This is a nice full screen play, with some interesting play options that will appeal to guys - tools, zapping. Backgrounds are available and you can add your own. The tiles are easy to identify, and see. The CD also includes: Space MahJong which is really cool, but the options during play seem limited; Midi music - some selections for the regular game are lame, but the midi-music for Space is great! The tiles for Sapce are great looking but navigation is different from the other game, and seems, well.... lacking in amenities. When you get to the point you have no more matches, a gui flies out, and you can choose to reshuffle, but no hints, and the exit is not obvious.
As I said, for the regular play, the midi-music is unappealing, also there there is no Gravity/Click versions included.

Others Mah Jong versions I have tried include:
Mahjong Master is elegant and relatively easy to navigate. The midi-music is soothing, but this is for the Microsoft DirectX fans, who like an "experience." DirectX is needed for some of effects. Lots of tile layouts are available but many (not all) are rather "noveau" (skulls, tulip, clock, et al). Hoyle Solitaire & Mahjong Tiles (Seirra) is a nice no-nonesense version of the card & Mahjong games and has some interesting special effects for the tile suites, but you need to keep the disk in the drive, for the full choice of backgrounds & special effects. Moraff Maximum Mahjong Vol 3 is wonderfully cheesy but way too much stuff ....this program is HUGE and has some real glitches.
