Moraff's RingJongg, another in the series of MahJongg titles released by Moraff Games intended for solitaire play, includes several play modes and a myriad of options for gameplay customization. Game types include Small Ring, with 100 rings, Big Ring Expert and Small Ring Expert. The regular versions allow ring matches when a side is open to the left, right, top or bottom of the ring while expert modes allow matches only when the left or right of the ring is unblocked. The game is available both as a single title from Global Star Software or as part of a collection in Moraff's Maximum Mahjongg.

Big Ring default mode contains 72 rings, some stacked in overlapping layers, and only unblocked rings on the top layer can be removed. When selected, unblocked rings highlight, thus indicating availability for removal if a match is found. Invalid rings (blocked) neither highlight nor can they be removed. Some ring design sets contain pairs of rings with similar colors but different patterns. Only pairs with the same color and pattern can be matched and will automatically be removed if selected. The game continues until no valid matches remain or the board is cleared.

The interface is mouse driven with selections accomplished via dropdown menus. Play options include a demo mode (rings are matched automatically) and a statistics screen that displays the number of games won, average time in a winning game, fastest winning time and total time played. Other customization choices include full or windowed screen, background images (patterns or a variety of photographic images), ring sets (similar to tile sets in regular Mahjongg) with various colors and patterns of rings or spheres and an undo function that reverses your last move. Tech support at the Moraff and Global Star Software websites is provided in the Help menu.

The default music is a MIDI version of a sea chantey, followed by a Celtic tune and cycles through several other numbers. You can opt to toggle the music off and keep the audible feedback ("Sorry" and "Oh dear") responses on. A random play feature is also available along with the option to turn all sounds off. A "cheat" function is offered that allows you to check for available moves using the "Get Hint" selection from the upper edge menu bar or by right clicking the mouse anywhere on the screen (if available, two matching rings will highlight). Games are timed with only the ten fastest times tracked.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
