G193: TILESETS FOR MAHJONGG or SOLITILE (below) or TILEMATCH (above)

There are literally hundreds of tilesets available for these excellent games.

art! We've selected the better ones and put them on 2x360K disks (available
separately) or 1x720K/1.2/1.4 disk.
G193A: CHILDRENS TILESETS: 10 sets particularly suited to children. Some are
educational (ie pictures with words, alphabets etc) and others are just for
fun. Alpha. Bath. Bears. Body. Cartoon. Comic. Kids. Sea. Seasons. Simpsons.
G193B: GENERAL INTEREST TILESETS: 10 more sets for all ages. Some are quite
tricky as they contain many almost identical pictures. Alfabet (very fancy).

G015: MAHJONGG v3.4. '90 (menued)

Excellent solitaire game where matching tiles must be removed from right or
left edges of a pile. Very addictive for adults & children. Kids love to use
the alternative tilesets (birds, 2 flag sets & Xmas pictures are included on
this disk) these all make full use of EGA graphics and some are works of art!
