-
- Yes, we should ask InterPlay to come out a sequel instead of a typing program.
- Even Battle Chess II GS is a great idea too.

-
- I have not tried it, but running the 70mm mode on 9MHz GS is really fast!

- : It seems to me that Shanghai II just has different styles of tile
- : layouts. Has anyone figured out the board layout (text file) to
- : MahJong? That could make MahJong a serious competitor to Shanghai II.
-
- Please be reminded that Shanghai II contains another game - Dragon Eye.
- Mahjong GS is a close clone of the first game of the Shangai II. And they share
- similar characteristics:
-
- 1. Both of them are very slow.
- 2. Both of them does not have great graphics. The original Shanghai by
- Activision is much better. 3D effect is also better in Shangai.
-
- Shangai II is better than Mahjong GS because:
-
- 1. Shangai II has animation.
- 2. Shangai II has sound.
- 3. Shangai II has more layouts and tile sets.
- 4. Shangai II has a completely new game called Dragon Eye.
-
- By the way, Mahjong GS is a misleading name. Mahjong is actually a different
- game altogether. It is played by 4 players, and is a much more complex games.
- The only similarity between Shangai type of games and Mahjong is the tiles they
- used.
