CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on February 20, 2009
Beware, after playing just one game of Moraff's "MahJongg 2009," you'll find yourself eager to come back and play more. We just wish the trial period lasted longer.
The user interface is colorful, easy to navigate, and offers users a few extra features. Prominent menu buttons reside at the top of the window, and allow you to choose from different game designs, and apply game settings, such as the number of matches, and tile-set displays. There also are buttons to undo and redo moves. In terms of extras, you'll find a radio that plays soothing music to get you in the mood to play mah-jongg, and almost the entire user interface, down to the cursor, is customizable. The game tiles are bright and colorful without being too busy. If you're new to the game of mah-jongg, an extensive Help menu will have you up and playing in no time. We jumped right in, clicking the tiles to make matches, and we liked the score and ranking information that appeared after the game was over.
The one downside to the program is its 14-use trial, which is pretty stingy. But it's still plenty of time for experienced and novice users alike to become highly addicted to this well-designed version of mah-jongg.
Publisher's description
From Software Diversions :Moraff's MahJongg is a stunning version of the popular mahjong tile game that features a beautiful, graphical display of tiles placed on a gorgeous background. This new version includes a completely redesigned experience: new tilesets, backgrounds, cursors, the ability to configure the game for customized play all in one location.

Version: Moraff's MahJongg 2009 12.0
"Simple, fun, no stress, easy to win the way I play!"
Pros: Simple, large tiles, good options on tile appearance (shadows, etc.), great options on selecting playing difficulty.
Cons: Characters not as clearly defined as in free version, which I still use, even tho' I bought the discs, and like it best. Gave the purchased version to my daughter! Would like more choices of tile designs & better character definition.
Summary: Features improved from my favorite version (the free one). Character design on tiles is not as good. Keyboard shortcuts being in row of Fkeys is less convenient than in older free version - have to move entire hand to use keys. Control-Z would be be... read more >>
