Shanghai
Puzzle

In 1986, before TETRIS, a company called Activision (now known also as
Mediagenic) took the ageless Chinese game of Mah Jongg and twisted it into
a computer puzzle challenge for the 20th century. This game became an instant
hit, largely due to its simplicity: Players remove matching pairs of tiles
from an organized heap, trying to remove as many tiles as possible.

Now the game returns, in color, portable, and expanded, on the Atari Lynx.
As in the original SHANGHAI, you are presented with 144 Mah Jongg tiles
arranged in an organized, three-dimensional heap. By selecting matching pairs
of "free" tiles (tiles not blocked by other tiles to the left or right), you
whittle down the pile, and ultimately -- if your strategy is wise -- clear
the heap. The Lynx version is expanded from the original with alternate board
sets and two-player options, while retaining all the features of the original.
