Shanghai II is a variant of the puzzle game also known as solitaire mahjong. 144 mahjong tiles are arranged in rows and stacked upon each other in various patterns; the player's goal is to remove pairs of matching tiles that do not have adjacent tiles from both sides until the whole board is clear. This variant features six patterns named after animals: tiger, scorpion, monkey, snake, panther, and dragon. The player can choose to display hints or reverse any amount of moves. A mode with a time limit is available as well.
Eons have passed... yet despite apparent annihilation in the original ARKANOID game, Dimension-controlling force DOH has come back to life, and occupying the huge spacecraft ZARG, has entered our universe. ARKANOID-type spacefighter MIXTEC runs through long forgotten computer data until it finds the answer to this threat... VAUS 2 is launched and speeds towards the threatening alien presence, before it can extract its revenge... "Arkanoid II"! Unlike the original game, the sequel was released only in Japan.
