- There's definitely a good Mahjong game that was on Hobbes. It should
- still be there. You'll have to prowl to find it, since I can only have one
- session active right now, calling in from home.

- I would like to take this opportunity and thank all those who have
- answered. I have actually found three mahjongg games.
-
- A Ms-Dos version which runs in full screen and in windowed mode. It
- requires a 640x480X16. When windowed its is unberably slllllooooowwwww
- ... to the point of making the game unusable in this mode and
- switching to full screen mode is such a traumatic experience that it
- causes my brain to reboot...
-
- I don't want to lay the blame on the game. It may be Os/2's fault. I
- am running the 8415/A driver in 1024x768 mode with an ATI Ultra under
- GA+SP.
-
-
- Anyway, the second game was found in the pub/os2/all/games directory.
- It was disapointing. I should say that the Dos game is very well done
- and if it was to run under Os/2 correctly I would register it.
-
- A second attempt proved more successful. I found mahjongg.zip in
- rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de in the source/os2/Demo/Games (case maters)
- directory. It is a substantially better game that the mj-11.zoo (or
- something similar) found on Hobbes. I should point out that both these
- games are free. Thanks to both authors for their time and effort !
-
- The mahjongg.zip though has a drawback though. It is optimized for the
- 8415/A driver and will probably look shaby under other drivers. You
- should give it a try though.
