'''Shanghai''' | |||
'''Shanghai''' is a computerized version of [[WikiPedia: Mahjong solitaire|Mahjong solitaire]], a tile matching game. In Shanghai, the player removes both free tiles of a matching pair until all 144 tiles are gone. The challenge comes from devising a strategy to free up tiles so they can be removed from the stack. After winning a game, different versions present the player with a reward. For example, in many versions, the tiles reveal the three-dimensional blinking eye of a dragon behind the game screen. | |||
The first electronic version of ''Shanghai'' was developed by [[Activision]] and published in [[1986]] for several popular American and European home computers. As it's popularity grew, it was ported to several different home consoles and hand held gaming systems. Though developed by a number of different companies, Japanese ports were primarily handled by [[Sunsoft]], including a version developed for the arcade in 1988. It should be noted, however, that not all versions were released in all markets. For example, Shanghai was a launch title for the [[PC Engine]] in Japan, developed by [[Hudson Soft]]. The [[Atari 8-bit]] conversion of the game was released exclusively in Germany, one of the last regions where the platform was still commercially successful. | |||
