Funny ... you HAVE to mention mahjongg. I've avoided replying to this 
thread.

I worked on this one (yeah, wrote it!) while I was at Sandbox Studios. 
Too bad it was never actually released. It had hundreds of backgrounds 
(of questionable copyright status, e.g. I don't know if the company held 
the copyrights, or even had the rights to use the backgrounds) several 
different tile materials, and several tile graphics. One from a real 
mahjongg set.

Shame it never got released. The solver to get hints sucked badly, 
though. :)

Another thing I worked on:

Scroll down to Sandbox Email Mahjongg. I worked on this one, checkers, 
and a couple card games. The rules were bent and adapted quite a bit (as 
the review notes)

Ancient History best buried with tons of ET Cartridges if you ask me.
