Dragons Bane: Mah Jongg II is a Mahjongg game written by the same author whose game got me hooked on Mahjongg years ago. It is even better than the original with SVGA and VGA support and digitised sounds. It still has a lot of tiles sets and layouts and editors to create your own. It has excellent record keeping letting you keep track of regular games, tournament games, and how well you play. Lots of options are available including but not limited to board number, tile set, layout, peek, sound effects, animation, prompts, disable timing, enable time limits, backgrounds, hints, undo, redo, stats, and tourney mode.

This is a great game with an easy to use layout. My sister said "The sound effects are unbelievable but fun." There are a number of backgrounds. Some faster machines may have trouble running the program. If so the author recommends you get the program CPU Killer to fix the problem. I didn't have any problems with the game and I am using a Celeron 300A and Windows 98. The only problem I have had is sometimes when I go to exit the game it locks up my computer. Registering will get you the latest version of the program with additional tile sets, layouts, and more on disk.
