2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Shanghai
Shanghai is a strategy game that has appeared on many platforms, and quite a few Japanese arcade games. It is based
on the oriental tile game Mah Jong, and is very addictive. New versions for current mainstream platforms are still
being made today. The object of the game is two pull off matching tiles until the entire screen is emptied. You can only
pull off from the left or the right, and only if the tile is not blocked in on those two sides.
The original cartridge version was later ported to OS-9 by Bill Nobel. A little later after that, Alan Dekok did some further
modifications to the OS-9 version, allowing for different tile sets.
One interesting bit of trivia from the original cartridge game: there is a hidden, 3rd color set (besides the labelled
RGB and Composite), which is a yellow shadow based color set. You have to select it from the main
game screen, and it is in the upper left 1/4 of the screen.. in only ONE spot. See if you can find it, if you have
the cartridge version!
