1.0 out of 5 stars Very tiny tiles, December 6, 2001

This review is from: Mahjongg for Palm Os (CD-ROM)

While the color selection of this software may be better, the tiles of the grayscale version are way too small and hard to see. While you can toggle to a larger image of part of the "stack" and can pause on a single tile to get it to enlarge, the process takes too long. Admittedly I'm an old geezer (47) who wears glasses, but I don't think anyone could view this game easily.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, May 19, 2004

I bought this recently for my wife. When she downloaded it to her Treo 600, the device "locked up". It turns out that the version supplied on the CDROM is 1.0 released January 2001. The manufacturer's website (www.astraware.com) lists the current version as 2.01, released March 18, 2003. I downloaded the trial version from the Astraware website, and it seems to run on the Treo 600 with no problem. Queries to Astraware have produced no response other than an automated e-mail.

I also contacted the distributor, Global Star Software. The response I got back claimed that their games were developed for PalmOS 3.5 and the games would not work for PalmOS 4.0 or later. Global Star Software also said that there are no new versions or updates for these games, but I could contact Customer Service about returning the game. I'm not sure I understand this. Did Astraware initially produce the game for Global Star Software and then sever the relationship somewhere down the line?

Anyway, you can buy the game directly from the Astraware website, but it will cost you about $18. However, given the lack of responsiveness of Astraware, I would advise against that.
