Chinese Tiles is a single-player Mahjong-style tile-matching game by Predrag Stanojevic, written between 1995 and 1997 and distributed through the Info-Mac board-games archive. Players clear a layout of 144 randomly placed tiles by matching pairs, working with the same tile imagery familiar from the traditional Chinese game Mah-Jongg.
Mahjong Solitaire Gameplay
At the start of each game, 144 tiles are shuffled into a fixed layout. The objective is to remove every tile by matching identical pairs, in the classic Mahjong solitaire tradition rather than the four-player Mah-Jongg card game. The author notes the format has many shareware incarnations across platforms, including a few prior Mac releases.
System Requirements
Chinese Tiles 1.1.1 requires System 7 or greater and a display capable of 256 colors (256 grayscale also works). Builds run natively on 68k and PowerPC Macs, and the game runs under Classic on Mac OS 9.
Author and Release
Predrag Stanojevic (Predrag.B.Stanojevic@telia.se) authored the game, distributing it as ChineseTilesv111.hqx through the Info-Mac brd directory. It is preserved on Macintosh Garden alongside other Shanghai-style tile games of the era.
