4.0 out of 5 stars
Computer gamer, February 12, 2001
This review is from: Hoyle Solitare and Mahjong Tiles (CD-ROM)
This is a good quality game and it's played a lot in our household. We play one-person "Mahjong" very often here (maybe too often?) and everyone from the adults to the 8 year old is hooked on this particular game. There's a two person version as well, but it's not as big of hit in our household. The graphics on the tiles are detailed, so this may not be a game for laptop size screens, but works just fine on regular larger monitors. You've also got the option to choose different tile graphics and layouts, which might help. One reason we purchased it is so that it could be played both on the Mac and the MS PC and it does that well. It has some fun sounds as the tiles are matched and removed. If you have the CD in, you get the sounds. Without the CD, no cute sounds, but the game goes faster, so it depends on what you want. I like the quality, the flexibility, and the challenge of the Mahjong game offered in this CD.

Don't Make The Same Mistake I Did..., September 30, 2001
This review is from: Hoyle Solitare and Mahjong Tiles (CD-ROM)
When we switched from a Mac system to a PC system, I needed to replace the Eric's Ultimate Solitaire that I had enjoyed on the former system. Because Eric's isn't available, I replaced it with Sierra's Hoyle Solitaire and Mahjong Tiles, the best I thought available. Boy was I wrong! Sierra's Hoyle Solitaire DOES NOT HAVE FEATURES/OPTIONS that are available on other software (not only Eric's Ultimate): NO "AUTOPLAY", so every card must be clicked and dragged even when winning is definite;
NO "RETRY GAME" - you get one chance and that's it;
NO "HINTS";
"UNDO" is good for only one play;
NO "FLYING CARDS" option.
Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a solitaire game and don't make the same mistake I did.

There IS an Undo Feature, June 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hoyle Solitare and Mahjong Tiles (CD-ROM)
I almost didn't buy it because other reveiws said the game lacked an undo feature. Perhaps in older editions, but the one I bout last week has an undo for every game I've tried so far. This game is tremendously varied. It will take months of steady play to go through every game once. The MaJong tiles even have an option where you can design your own layouts, if you ever get tired of the ones they have. And you can decide to play with someone elso, too! I'm glad I've got it (although it may take more of my time than it should!)
