- Alternate Tile Set for Mah Jongg ver. 3.3
-
- Tile Set Name: CARS1.TIL
- Subject: American Autos
- Created by: Glenn Smith
-
- First, I would like to thank Nels Anderson for making such
- a fine game in Mah Jongg 3.3 and for including his great Tile
- Maker utility, which has given me the opportunity, as well as
- the necessary tools, for this bit of artistic(?) expression.
-
- Inspiration & disclaimer:
-
- Some of the most colorful wildlife in the Detroit area has
- always been of the four-wheeled variety. The automobile manu-
- facturers have tried for decades, with varying degrees of suc-
- ess, to capture our imagination with their inspired creations.
- I thought that some of the artwork that they have provided
- would make an attractive and interesting set of tiles for Mah
- Jongg. The accompanying CARS1.TIL is the result of my inspir-
- ation, and includes corporate trademarks as well as some of my
- favorite auto-related graphics and logos from the past thirty-
- odd years.
- As I expect to make no money from this endeavor, I neither
- sought nor was I granted permission to reproduce any of the
- items included. I've attempted to represent all works as ac-
- curately as possible, but will admit taking a certain amount
- of artistic license for the purpose of contrast and clarity.
-
- Description:
-
- The tiles in this set don't exactly follow the original Mah
- Jongg suits. The first thirty are made up of the logos, etc.
- mentioned above and are meant to replace the suits of bamboo,
- dots, characters, and dragons. The shift patterns, traffic
- signs, and auto parts/accessories replace the suits of winds,
- seasons, and flowers, respectively. The signs and auto parts
- tiles are wild within their own suit.
-

-
- (1) General Motors (16) Thunderbird
