I loved an old version of (cube format) Taipei I had on Windows 95 and
98- That computer "died" and I now have Windows XP but I long for the
OLD version of "Taipei" and did not "save" it and now cannot ifnd one
to "download" online- they're all too new and HUGE and fancy!!

Hi shermie!!

I think that I found what are you looking for!!

At the "Solitaire MahJongg" site, at the "Freeware" page I found the following:
"Taipei 3.10: 
Simple version made by David Norris (Microsoft) in 1990. 7 different
layouts and Hint option. Rated only 2/10 at gamehippo.com. This is the
last freeware version. v.4.0 of this game was in Microsoft
Entertainment Pack."
