Oh, neat. I'm so fired.

My first thought looking at this game was "man I hate stupid little games like this!" Now I cant stop playing it.
 
2002-10-22 08:00:22 AM

Isn't anyone going to object to the obvious Biblical references?

damn tiles are so small I can't see them.. should I really need to lower my resolution?
 
2002-10-22 08:52:36 AM
Actually, Pop-Cap has released a very old game to beta.

Another boring Mah Jong game.....argh!!!!

Some of the others there are good though....
 
2002-10-22 09:34:42 AM

2002-10-22 09:42:04 AM

I'm annoyed because Book Worm wouldn't accept "F A R K" as a word.

Those who find the Mahjong tiles too small should take the download version; you can make that fullscreen. Plus, the candy tileset is absolutely fantastic once you're used to it.
 
2002-10-22 11:07:38 AM
Is it just me or is the shark game really easy, I got to be an "expert diver" without getting eaten once.

I too am SO fired.
 
2002-10-22 11:13:54 AM
I get handed a critically important project... and now this. Must. Keep. Job.
 
2002-10-22 11:18:41 AM

"Big Money" ahhhhhhh............

Majong... WOOP DE DOOOO! (Sarcasm)
 
2002-10-22 11:46:51 AM
I like how you can turn the sound off on these gmaes. Pop Cap must know we all play these at work.
 
2002-10-22 12:01:34 PM
So the noah's ark game is the "new" one? i played it. seemed just like diamond mine with a different theme to it. nothing like re-inventing the wheel.....
 
2002-10-22 12:03:26 PM
Popcap does a great job and all... but i've been DIEING for them to release Insaniquarium Deluxe. I need more fish... more aliens... more tanks... more friends. more more more!

{{shudder}}
 
2002-10-22 12:16:38 PM
STUPID GAME- NOT CHALLENGING. INSANIQUARIUM IS COOL THOUGH
 
2002-10-22 12:52:13 PM
its all about the dinosaur. work? what is work?

Oh great. Another Mahjong game that's not really Mahjong.

Mahjong:


(Strip Mahjong, actually... :)

NOT Mahjong:



The former can be fun (especially 4 player with friends), as well as wacky with all the strip varieties and such... the latter is boring and for some goofy reason, people lately take the name of the former... maybe because that's the name they've seen associated with the tiles. I don't know. (the original tile matching game this is all based on was released in the late 80's by Activision but was called "Shanghai".)

Sorry, I just had to vent. There's no good Mahjong games for windows (there was that game of the four winds one, but I heard it doesn't run under XP and I'm not paying $20 to have software that doesn't run. I heard the guy doesn't update it anymore either since selling the rights.) and when trying to find a new Mahjong game to play that would be fun, you expect by the name to find a mahjong game, but all you find are these tile matching clones. Ah well...

No good Mahjong game for Windows XP?

What makes a good Mahjong game? And where do I learn Mahjong (never played it)?

I can do something about this situation if enough people would buy it...
 
2002-10-22 02:12:09 PM
Damn, I love Mahjong. Was there a version in the old Microsoft Entertainment Package with Chip's Challenge?

Oh MAN, CHIP'S CHALLENGE! That takes me back. BUBBA!
 
2002-10-22 02:23:12 PM
Mahjong (the real one, not this Shanghai tile matching game) is strangely addictive once yout learn how to play it. It was kind of like gin rummy if I remember.

I had a version for Windows 98 a long time ago that played really well and had smart computer opponents.. not sure what it was called, but if I find it, I'll be addicted again.

I have all the mame roms. I share them on WinMX. I noticed two files were extremely popular amongst non-english users(Sending gibberish, usually indcating me to start their download early). I check it out and it's porn Mahjongg games. I swear, there's more porn mahjongg of Mame Roms than Pac-Man clones. IF YOU WANT PORN GAMES, MAHJONGG IS NOT IDEAL. Jesus... maybe a 3 Sister's Story, Fatal Relations or something, but a tile game to see boobies? Nah...

Some good Mahjong rules/detail pages:

Mahjong game rules for MAME (yes, the arcade emu.)

Japanese Mahjong rules - what I based the translation notes for Ebichu ep. 4's sub. (Ebichu = NSFW)

Decker: if you find out the name, let me know! :)

Bookworm accepts both "leet" and "coont".

I have some hilarious screenies from that game...
 
2002-10-22 03:05:09 PM
Doh! I forgot about the filter, but you get the idea.
 
2002-10-22 04:15:08 PM
first I was all like, "uhh, stupid", but now I'm all like "whoah vrooooom boom! cool!"
