"Shanghai is a tile-based game based on the ancient Chinese game of Mah-Jong - this was the first of many computer versions.
The gameplay involves 144 tiles, each depicting different images, which have to be removed by matching them into pairs. The tiles are arranged in a gridded pattern, which is higher near the centre. A tile can only be removed if it has no tile next to it on at least one side.
This computer implementation can generate a random board layout to take on, as well as featuring 5 preset challenges, some of which have time limits of 5 or 10 minutes, as well as a multiplayer mode." --MobyGames.com
The game's origin is the subject of some controversy.

Works well with System 6 and 7.1. May work with Mac OS 8 or 9, but not recommended. See Shanghai II Dragon's Eye for later OSes.

Got it to run in Basilisk with Mac OS 7.5.5 installed.
Well, this game runs b&w in vMac (MacOS 7.0 ) and in color on my PowerBook 190 (MacOS 8.1). It says "not enough memory" on PowerPC (MacOS 9.2) and in Basilisk II (MacOS 8.1).
Btw, the zip file is fine because it includes ready-to-use disk images.
For those experiencing out of memory error (rats!) it only runs on 256 or fewer colors.
Shanghai II is essentially the same game and is much more compatible across the old Mac OS versions.
Same complaints with the hardware I have, I tried it with a variety of OS's from 7 to X (9.2.2), addressing up to 260 megs of RAM to it - won't run.
Please try to load it up again !
