Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye is a Sega Mega Drive mahjong puzzle game and a sequel to Shanghai.

History

Activision had originally contracted Japanese developer Home Data to produce a Sega Mega Drive version of the game, which they released in Japan as Dragon's Eye Plus: Shanghai III. However, Activision was not happy with this version of the game,[6]. Rather than releasing it overseas or improving it for a Western release, they commissioned a brand-new Mega Drive port out to an American freelance developer Brian A. Rice, and released this new port in 1994. This Mega Drive version was only released in North America before seeing a European Virtual Console release.
