Shanghai

Released by Starcraft in 1985, Shanghai for the PC-8801 is a pinnacle of tile-matching puzzle games. Its elegant rules—finding and removing pairs of identical Mahjong tiles from a layered stack—have captivated players across borders and generations. With its deceptively simple yet deeply strategic gameplay, this historically significant title laid the foundation for the puzzle genre we know today. We invite you to experience this timeless, meditative challenge as it was enjoyed on original 5.25-inch floppy disks.

This thought-provoking game is based on the legendary ancient puzzle of tiles. Players must sift through a complex, stacked arrangement of Mahjong tiles to identify and remove matching pairs, with the ultimate goal of clearing the entire board. While the rules are straightforward, the intricate tile placements demand deep strategic foresight and logical reasoning.
