CargoSoft is very proud to present you its new game: Imperial Mahjong.

Imperial Mahjong is a reflexion game based on the Chinese game called Mahjong Solitaire, in which the player must make all the tiles disappear by selecting pairs that match.

The game features several technical achievements, including the use of two outstanding new graphic modes:

• the EGX (Extended GraphX) that displays 16 colors in 320*200 instead of 4
• the EGX2 that displays 4 colors in 640*200 instead of 2

A full list of these achievements will be published, but once again we don't want to spoil the surprise! For the same reason, we will not show any screen shot for now, for you to discover the game by yourself.

Please run the game on a real CPC! The graphics were designed to run on the real hardware. It is much, much, much more beautiful on a real CPC old.
