- DESCRIPTION: MAH JONGG is a solitaire game played with Chinese tiles.
- The rules are quite simple and easy to learn, but success in the game
- requires strategy and concentration. The object of the game is to
- remove all 144 tiles from the playing surface one pair at a time. To
- get started either read the .doc file, or just start up the game and
- view the help screens to learn how to play.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: Mah Jongg runs in 640x350, 16 color EGA graphics, thus an
- EGA card or better (VGA cards support EGA graphics modes) is required.
- Alternatively, you can run in 720x348 monochrome Hercules graphics if
- you have a Hercules compatible card.
-
- SHAREWARE: Mah Jongg is distributed as Shareware. You are free to
- try the game and make copies for others. If you continue to use the
- game, however, you must pay the author a registration fee of $15; in

- possibly other software to try out. A "deluxe" version is available
- for $20 which includes a binder, printed manual and reference card in
