and play things like Mah Jong

Care to share how - I was brought a MJ set about 10 years ago and only ever played it 5 times cos no else knew how to play it (rules are in Chinese) and I don't see the particular person who did know as he was an ex's bezzy mate!

[Bigmallly]

Bring back Donkey Kong or am I just showing my age?...........

[swansea girl]

I cant play any games like GTA,COD etc,they gave me terrible motion sickness so I have to play ds games or puzzle games or platform games
Bring back Manic Miner and Jet Set willy (ah I love spectrum games,just not the hours it takes to load!)

Last computer game I played I think was when they'd just invented home computers & you could link something up to the T.V. & a cassette player & play tennis with dots going from side to side (yes I am that old!)
Oh , just remembered, had a go on a Wii when they first came out & O.H. borrowed one, didn't like that either.
Just doesn't appeal to me at all!

I'm afraid I can't tell you. There are loads of different ways of playing, it is supposed to be played at breakneck speed though we never manage - but I think you would have to be on some kind of amphetamine to manage it, and besides with my memory problems I can't remember the rules so I detest the damn game and always sit it out, same as most card games !

I do crosswords and Scrabble

Like what she said.

Ash has a PS but it only really holds my interest for all of a couple of minutes.

I've never owned a games console of any description. I have managed to play Solitaire on my laptop, thats about my limit really. My kids and even my eldest 2 grandkids however love computer games things. I think (but am probably wrong) that they have PS2 but it honestly could be anything.
I play scrabble (not online but with real people) I do crosswords and Sudoku as well.

same as most card games !

From my shocking memory I do remember it's like a card game (poker maybe) where you have to collect suits, you either lay a tile or pick up from the wall. Dragons, winds & directions are high scores but there was loads of other stuff to it. I loved it - not very often my competitive side comes out but it most certainly does for MJ, Oh and Tekken, Quake, Doom etc etc

Mahjong is just rummy with tiles.
Safalra's Mah Jong Rules

Or play the solitare version.....which is what I do......google mahjong to see the ways of setting them up - you take them off when you match a pair that is free [ie no tile on either one side or other].

I knew it was a card game! My very 1st serious BFs family played cards ALL the time. Is Gin Rummy and Rummy the same - I pretty we called it Gin Rummy.

I love the solitaire version - had been playing it on-line for years which is why another one brought me the set & then his Bezzy had said he'd played it for real when he lived in China. Seriously good fun. Think a lot of vodka played an equal part though.

Ah! Those were the days

I think I'm going to play a game in your honour LL - thanks for mentioning it

Oh, me too.
I just can't remember any rules to any card games (even Bloody Mary now, which we played endlessly in school until it got banned)

[piskieinboots]

I missed the parent post to this one - I'm a non-gamer (and a girl!) so I guess there's no point in me trying to catch up is there!

[lizzylemon]

rummy or MJ?

I went and took photies in the rain of fireworks - bit bonkers probably

[zazen999]
