-{{:project:shanghai.gif?320 |}}In 1981 Brodie Lockard, a Stanford University student, developed a computer game just two years after a serious gymnastics accident had almost taken his life and left him paralyzed from the neck down. Unable to use his hands to type on a keyboard, Lockard made a special request during his long recovery in the hospital: He asked for access to a PLATO terminal. PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations) was the first generalized computer-assisted instruction system designed and built by the University of Illinois.

-The computer game Lockard started coding on his PLATO terminal was a puzzle game displaying Chinese Mah-Jongg tiles, pieces used for the Chinese game called «Mahjongg» that had become increasingly popular in the United States. Lockard accordingly called his game «Mah-Jongg solitaire». In 1986 Activision released the game under the name of «Shanghai» (see screenshot), and when Microsoft decided to add the game to their Windows Entertainment Pack für Win 3.x in 1990 (named «Taipei» for legal reasons) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong_solitaire|Mah-Jongg Solitaire]] became one of the world's most popular computer games ever.
