Shanghai: Banri no Choujou

Shanghai - Banri no Choujou is a mahjong-based arcade video game.

Released for various console systems in Japan. Banri no Choujou means "The Great Wall". The game is known in the US as "Shanghai: Triple-Threat", which was released by Activision for the 3DO and Sega Saturn. Another version of the ancient game of Mah-Jong. The player is presented with an arrangement of tiles, lined up together and stacked, with either 2 or 4 of each of an array of patterns. These must be removed by matching pairs, but only tiles which are visible and have a space to the left or right can be removed.

This release in the Activision's Shanghai series includes three games along with the Classic Shanghai. In The Great Wall, the tiles are stacked vertically, and fall when lower tiles are removed, a lá Tetris. In Beijing, gaps are created to slide groups of tiles along. The Golden Tile sees two players attempt to clear a set layout at once. The Triple-theme continues with three game modes: Solitaire, 2-player "Pandamonium", and Arcade. Three themed tile sets complete the "Triple Threat".
