an editor to make your own), statistics, tournaments and more.
Like Second Guess it supports VGA and SVGA graphics and Sound
Blaster digitized sounds.
MAHJONGG: Addictive solitaire game played with Chinese tiles. Very
easy to learn but always a challenge to win. Many game
options including timed games, tournaments, etc. Also
