Rating: Summary: Simple, But Much Deeper Than You Realize Review: At first glance, the Shanghai suite looks like a simple time-waster, but for the adult who plays these challenging games on a regular basis the realization awaits that there is much more going on here than you think. Sure, the games can serve as simple distractions, but if taken seriously they exercise your brain. The games teach the player to think and plan ahead, strategize, prioritize, create contingencies, to anticipate alternative courses of action, and to recognize patterns and structures.Another benefit is that the basic simplicity of the games lend themselves very well to play by children. My 5- and 3-year-olds find these games endlessly challenging and enjoyable, especially given the suite's capability to alter the tile sets' appearance as well as layouts. They enjoy the games immensely, never realizing how they are learning. A simple but endlessly entertaining games pack. I recommend it highly.
Rating: Summary: Very Addictive! Review: I have been playing this game for a couple of years now and paid $30 for it when it was relatively new on the market, so for $10 this is a great buy. I love this game and have been known to stay glued to the computer for an hour or more. It is very addictive! The basic game is simple and easy to learn. There are many variations of tile layouts and tile sets. I think the new version of this game has even more features, tile sets, etc. I plan on purchasing the new version, but if you're not sure you like computer mah-jong, try this one at this great price first. You won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Dragon's Eye Review: I have owned the Dragon's Eye game for many many years and love it. Mah-Jongg is a fantastic game and this edition has an Alphabet tile set which makes it easier to play. I have had my grandchildren playing this at age 3. Now everytime they come over it is the first thing they want to do. My husband is color blind and the large letters make this one of the few games he can play.

Rating: Summary: Shanghai Review: I love this game and was trying to get a copy for my new XP system. Just a warning for others who have XP - it will not run even using the Program Compatibility Wizard. I donated it to the library. I am so disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Won't work on Win 2000 with patches Review: I've been playing SHGM since 1995 but, unfortunately, it lost functionality when I installed all the latest MS O/S patches. It worked fine before the Blaster worm but the subsequent patches have created some kind of glitch that neither Activision nor Microsoft cares to address.
