I first came upon Shih Dao in
the early 90's, and 256-color ability was just starting to pick up steam
with regular computer users. Shih Dao was proud at that time to boast 256-color
items, and it also included 16-color boards and tiles for the majority. Although
the graphics for that time were awesome, they seem somewhat old-styled these
days, so I have created my own original versions of boards and tiles with
styles suited to the millions of colors today and now I offer them for other
Shih Dao players to use.
You will need the mother program to use these boards and tiles files. Shih
Dao was written by Impulse Software, then was passed to Digital Empires Inc.
and is now distributed by Arcanum Computing. Shih Dao runs on Windows
3.1/95/98...and probably 2000 and ME too. If you don't already have your
own copy, you can read reviews and download from many places, including:
FlightSim.com's
Shih Dao page
Rocket
Download's Shih Dao page
Cyber Namida - Kyodai
Mahjongg (in an excellent list of many Mahjongg-like PC games to fuel
your addiction!)
To install my original boards and tiles, just unZip the archive into your
\SHIHDAO\256\ directory and the new graphics will be ready
for your enjoyment the next time you open Shih Dao. (One caveat: if you are
running Win 3.1, you need a VGA display and 256-color ability to see
these files at their best.)
