I bought Shanghai quite a long time ago, and I've enjoyed playing it.
Recently, I discovered that in several situation, the "Show all moves"
option will miss certain moves (most notably, it usually misses the situations
in which all four matching tiles are free).  The player can still remove
these tiles, so it only affects play if you don't have a good grasp of the
obvious :-).

Since it has been a while since I bought it, I wrote Activision a letter in
which I asked if they had a new version to which I could upgrade.  After
5 weeks, I've received a coupon book from them, but no reply.  Anyone know
if there *is* a new version, and if there is, what I have to do to get it?
Also, anyone have their current 800 number?  The one in my documentation
has been disconnected, and is therefore not very useful.

Thanks for any and all help.  (And my thanks to Brint for his efforts in
getting the mailing list back up!)
