    Hot garbage. Foremost, the game is hard-locked to tiny resolution (I wanna say 640x480, but copy-pasting into paint gives me a canvas size of 802x627, so let's go with "802x627 or smaller"). This means you have one of two options: First, play in windowed mode, and try and pick out fine details within a tiny setting.

    It's Mah Jong. There's this repetitive Egyptian music that kinda puts you in a trance while you're clicking tiles. Then you're nearing the completion of a level when suddenly TRUMPETS! ..you ran out of moves.

    It only runs at 640x480 and the perspective is really bad (you can barely spot height differences). Don't bother. Mahjong(g) is sure jolly, yet this rendition isn't. There's a whole SP campaign of different layouts to play, so I suppose it's not lacking in content.

There is not a lot to say, other than the screen resolution does not support widescreen, there is a repetitive Egyptian piece of music played throughout, sound effects are of a high volume when set to default, and the there are a few power ups dotted throughout the board to make the game easier for you. Your choice in purchasing this game will come down purely to how much you like Mah Jong, but in all events, there are…

    This game is really nothing special. A good number of the sound effects are highly annoying to the point where you will just end up muting the game which is actually lucky for you since the music isn't all that great either. Sound aside this game basically is just a rush to find and match 2 "special" tiles and nothing more since the game just auto-completes the rest of your matches when you do. I don't know about you but I kinda dislike having the game played for me like that. Do yourself a…

    The game didn't immediately end with a hero's death. If Luxor fell, but Morkin recovered his ring, he became the new leader for his father's allies (and end his adventuring days!). If Morkin died, you could still win with enough allied armies on your side as Luxor. Good thing it had saves!

    Mildly entertaining. Kinda a mixed bag. Obviously, this is Mahjong, and there's no need to explain anything else about it. Of course, there´s an Egyptian theme here. The graphics are decent, nothing fancy. The music is simple and repetitive. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Win 7. Now, this game is the only non-marble popper in the Luxor collection. There are some assets from the other games. I think they were looking for something to create another series with minimal effort. This Mah Jong…

    Great game. Does run on Windows 10 in full screen mode for me. Just don't switch to another program because you will lose the game (it'll show a small, blacked-out window instead of full screen graphics). The game is pretty good about saving progress so if it happens, not that big a deal.

    Luxor Mahjong is an odd entry into the series, but still enjoyable enough. I would place this one more in the middle rather than heavily place it in recommend or not. If you are a mahjong enjoyer, this game will feel at home. The strange thing, of course, is Luxor titles beside this one are match 3 style puzzle games on a track. It is different, but alright. The audio and music is there, the music fitting with the Egyptian theme. The visuals are fine for the time, but definitely seem too…

    Luxor Mahjong is a traditional Mahjong tile removal game (not to be confused with the gambling version) where you match two tiles to remove them from the board, and repeat until the board is empty. Luxor added a bunch of zany extra features and difficulty modes to spice up the traditional gameplay. Confusingly, they decided that Mahjong is far too chinese so they gave everything an egyptian theme, so it takes a while to learn which tiles are which. Regrettably, there's no proper widescreen…

    Pretty fine adaptation of one of the most famous oriental tabletop games, though it can get old after around 50 boards. Despite that it has decent variability on its own, though the shuffle buttom can sometime glitch up and not work. A fine game, but the price might be a little too expensive for what it offers.
