I don't recall the name, but the board )was set up the same as the Activision game. It was played using a )CDC-721 touch screen terminal. I played this version on the CSU (California State University) PLATO (Control Data Corporation) system a few years ago. It was also called "mahjongg" on that system and played in the same way. As I remember, a few months after I played that, the Macintosh "Shanghai" game came out which seemed to play the same turtle solitary mahjongg game.
