LexJongg 1.2 |

Features several random board layouts and has an (unsupported)
layout editor. Written as a preparation for BlitzHack in 9 hours.
Versions for Windows (Direct X) and Linux. Source code (929 kb)
available. Made by Lennart Steinke ("Spellcaster").
From a review: "It lacks replay value because there are no high scores and you only get to play one random board per
game". How to use the editor: Start the game with the parameter
"editor" (open the shortcut for the game and editor behind the name of
the executable). In the editor use 1-6 to change the layer of the layout.
L to load a layout, S to save it. (Thanks to Lennart!) |

| Stylish game.
360 layouts, 48 tile
sets, 72 backgrounds and 15 songs. 3 game modes: Finesse (the
regular...), Agility (against the clock) and Wisdom (clear tiles
by creating words). Hall of Fame, shuffle, hint, sounds, music.
It's difficult to get an opinion on the game since the trial is
limited to one layout, one tileset and one background. An
identical version is being sold under the name 'Playsage
Mahjongg 1.0' at Playsage
Inc. (the download link is the same as for Dragons 5.0).

modes: Standard, 'Time attack', Memory (3 levels). Music, sound,
layout editor, hint, high score. Multilingual (Catalan, English,

Limitations in trial version (not
possible to change background or tilesets). The theme and name

| Perhaps the worst solitaire
mahjongg version I have ever seen! Terrible graphics and
music ('oriental new age') you can't stand for a second. And the
shareware version is so crippled (one layout, standard tiles,
flashing nag) that's it almost unplayable. In the registered
version you get 15 layouts and 2 tilesets (Gold and Classic).
Hint, shuffle, redo. High score list for each layout. Use your
own bitmaps as background. Also known as 'Animated Mahjongg'
(made by UltiSoft but have disappeared without a trace).

Moraff's MahJongg Games
|
Shareware
|
|
Moraff's is one of the biggest actors in the solitaire mahjongg
game market. Perhaps more because of intensive marketing than
the quality of the game. They are good, but not that good. And
giving the game several themes and then sell them each as new
games seems a bit trickery. And the game's core code is from
around 1996. Before people flame me, I'm a
registered user and play some of the games a lot...
The games are sold separately or in CD or DVD
collections. Features include (DVD): 107 cursors, 150 layouts,
10 reward categories, and hundreds of tilesets, 2500 high
resolution, full-screen background images (or use your own),
create your own layouts, create your own tilesets, use your own
music. Good, clear and large tiles (three formats). There are
lots and lots of user-made tilesets available (see tilesets
section).
Moraff MahJongg (aka MoreJongg - the flagship
title), MomJongg (with children's artwork), ArtJongg
(famous painting images tileset), KidJongg (Kids tileset
and simpler rules), AlphaJongg (alphabetical tileset), July4Jongg
(American patriotic theme), YourJongg (use your own
pictures), SpaceJongg (interstellar theme), SphereJongg
(derivative: uses 3D-spheres instead of tiles), MarbleJongg
(derivative: uses balls or circles instead of tiles), RingJongg
(derivative: uses rings instead of tiles), 3D-Jongg
(derivative: you must remove three identical tiles instead of
only two).
Moraff's now also create customized
games for interested companies / organizations. Two shareware
versions called 'Christian Mahjongg' and 'Art and
Portraits Mahjongg' is currently available.

match (discarding) are used to build a new wall. The goal is to
complete this wall. Entirely original rules. And you get nice
Chinese words of wisdoms when you win. Author: Russel Wilson.
