Mahjong Solitaire was created in 1981 by Brodie Lockard on the PLATO. He
named it simply Mah-Jongg. 1986 he re-created it for Activision as a
commercial Macintosh game. It was now called Shanghai, and soon ported
to every then relevant platform. There were even arcade machines. It is
interesting to see that Shanghai II (1989) was still very similar to the original Mac game,
while Super
Shanghai (1992) has, apart from some sort of background story,
elements introduced by the PC shareware games, like fancy, varying
tilesets.
