Shanghai III on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis takes the traditional mahjong solitaire formula to a compact 16-bit package. Players clear layered tile layouts by matching identical, unblocked tiles, balancing quick pattern recognition with careful planning to avoid dead ends. It’s a low-pressure puzzle that rewards patience and memory, offering both relaxed sessions and tense, score-chasing runs as tiles thin out. The retro presentation — chunky tile art, simple menus and chip-tune flourishes — adds old-school charm, making Shanghai III a soothing yet mentally demanding title for fans of classic puzzlers.
