Now, bear in mind -- I'm not an avid gamer - in fact I rarely play computer games altogether nowadays. My favorite games were in the late 80's early '90s when game play was paramount over flashy graphics.

I purchased this program after trying it out for a few weeks via Freeverse's website. This game is very similar to Activision's 80's version of Shanghai -- except that it's gorgeous to look at, has terrific gameplay, and is ...(insert drum roll here) ...loads of FUN!

I prefer games that are easy to get into, and continue to hold my interest over time. This review would be 5 stars, but I took down one star because under MacOSX 10.3, I can't play any of the audio tracks on the game. Freeverse software has indicated that a patch will be made available soon.

Highly recommended, especially for non-gamers that want a good, fun diversion every now and then. Perfect for kids and adults alike!

Beware: Not what it seems

Just a note ... this is NOT a Mahjong game. This is that (lame, IMHO) tile matching game that so many erroneously call Mahjong. If you're looking to play Mahjong against the computer, this ain't it.

Good tile-matching game

No problems with installation or stability, but you may burn through hours without even realizing it. :)

While the monkeys aren't as much fun as BMS, the tile matching is good fun -- and educational. My 3-year old loves this game. With all the options, my wife and I can set the difficulty, tilesets, music, and layouts to our liking as well.

I've played other implementations of this type of game and this is one of the best.
