I'm a Mahjongg/Puzzle man and my wife bought this for me for my birthday and I must say that this is one of the best Mahjongg games I've played so far. There are tons of layouts and backgrounds for you to choose from and the different tilesets make you feel like you're never playing the same game twice. I've installed it on my PC and my Mac with no problems and I enjoy this product very much. Good stuff!

This is an awesome game - I personally find that the ability to rotate the tile sets around go in close and also to zoom out makes this a unique game. The other mahjongg games out there just don't offer this option. I have had NO problems whats so ever running this on my mac or on my pc. I plan to port it over to my netbook this weekend since I don't want to be without it when I travel.

This may run great on windows, but it is grainy on Mac. This makes it hard to view some of the more complicated tiles. The color of the tiles are the same, top and side, so 3D doesn't show you much, also in 3D you only get a side view of the tiles on one side only, and instead of having the layout square to the screen when the curser is centered, it points the left hand corner of the layout.
It crashes a lot. This is a windows program that has been mickey moused to run on a MAC.
So save your money if you have a MAC. If you want a good 3D Mahjong game. Try "Burning Monkey Mahjong" by FreeVerse

The user interface for this game is horrible. It looks like it was an original game for the Atari 800 that was ported to an IBM PC, and then ported to a Mac. It probably was a good game 25 years ago, but now it's not worth the price of postage.

Most importantly for new users, this game does not run under Windows 7. As far as the game itself, you know you are in for trouble when the installation takes an extremely long time to load off the CD. This happened on multiple PCs and under Windows XP and Windows 7. Once I got the game successfully installed on a Windows XP computer, I was very disappointed in the graphics - tile sets and background images. Discerning where one tile ends and another starts is poor compared to other Mahjongg games available. The "3D" mode is a joke. I would not recommend this implementation to anyone, especially at the price. I have purchased better for less.

If I could give zero stars on this product, I would. My stepfather got this game for me to play on my laptop while I was really ill. The game never worked, even after switching compatibility modes, doing disk defrags, and even reading forums from others who had purchased this game and it didn't work for them, either. You can't return it because of copyright laws, they will only give you another one. There is no phone number on the game, just a website, also with no phone number. What a rip off!

The graphics are terrible. It's hard to tell where one tile begins and the other ends. The game board is oddly tilted which makes it harder to tell what the tiles are. I was able to get it loaded on Windows 7 but it has frozen twice. I'll uninstall it and purchase another game. This was a big waste of $10.

purchased the game one week ago tried to install in two different newer computers with all their requirements and it would not run, took game back to store was told I could only get the same game because of copyright laws --- so took another brand new disc of same game, I'm sure I would enjoy the game if it would load and work BUT -- it wouldn't work either.

My advise don't purchase any of the games sold by this company -- you will be sorry if you do !!

I am running Windows 7 and this game totaly screwed up my PC. It didn't work and locked up the computer. I coundn't even uninstall it properly. What a waste of money.

DO NOT BUY THIS!

it's like throwing your money down a manhole. no directions - have no idea what's happening - tiles are invisible on Macintosh

Save your money! It's More Game Garbage

One wonders who writes and produces these pieces of crap!
