Too much Window$ look in the Mac version [Posted on 2003-11-04]
This is a hybrid CD-ROM, in that it contains data for BOTH PC (Window$) and Macintosh operating systems. I have a Mac, so obviously that's what is installed. My main complaint is that the tile sets look washed out. They are mostly too pastel or lightly colored. In fact, they look like they belong on a PC, not a Mac, and the interface is very Window$-like. It's too bad the artists didn't use a little more imagination, as this could have have a huge winner, as there are 100(!) tile sets, and I will admit most of them are imaginative in concept, but drab in actuallity. Also, I'm used to a little more special effects than just a "click" sound when you match a pair of like tiles. One plus is that there are other variations of tile matching games, so you aren't stuck on just Mahjongg solitaire. I'm just glad I didn't buy this when it was going for $24.99, as it would have been a bit steep for what I got. I do appreciate that the developer made this for OS X, as there are a LOT more games for PC than Mac, but I just wish Masque would have used a little more color in their product, and made it less PC-like.
This is NOT Mahjong!!!!!! [Posted on 2005-09-10]
Again, this is one of the many stupid tile matching games created by ignorant computer programmers that call themselves "mahjong". They should be called "Mahjong SOLITAIRE".
Real mahjong is very different 4 player game similar to gin rummy and is way more fun than stupid tile matching. Chinese people play REAL mahjong, not this tile matching solitaire game.
I hate it how these programmers mislead so many customers about what REAL mahjong is, there is more to it.
Filler [Posted on 2007-03-13]
Mah Jong is a great time filler when you are on the phone, talking, on hold, or whatever. Terrific variety in tile sets, game assortments and layouts.
Fun game [Posted on 2007-04-12]
I enjoy this game, but needs better tiles to choose from. Tiles are boring, needs more pizazz
Excellent tile games for the Macintosh [Posted on 2007-07-23]
I was looking to replace my Shanghai, which does not work well on Macintosh System 10, and I'm not sorry that I purchased this version. This product's original MahJongg game works well (although I miss the Shanghai animations and sounds), and there are several other interesting games as well. Additionally, there are over 2000 background, enough to suit every personality. This game was certainly worth the money for someone who enjoys tile matching games such as Shanghai and "Concentration", plus some other tile skill games.
