These must be removed by matching pairs, but only tiles which are visible and have a space to the left or right can be removed.
This release in the Activision's Shanghai series includes three games along with the Classic Shanghai.
In The Great Wall, the tiles are stacked vertically, and fall when lower tiles are removed, a lá Tetris.
In Beijing, gaps are created to slide groups of tiles along.
The Golden Tile sees two players attempt to clear a set layout at once.
The Triple-theme continues with three game modes: Solitaire, 2-player "Pandamonium", and Arcade.
Three themed tile sets complete the "Triple Threat".
About 3DO
The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (1993/1994) was an ambitious, expensive CD-based console licensed to multiple manufacturers rather than built by a single company — a business model that ultimately contributed to its commercial failure. Low overall sales and a short commercial life mean 3DO games were produced in modest numbers, making complete copies a specialist retro collecting niche today.
Gamevaro tracks Shanghai: Triple-Threat for 3DO with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shanghai: Triple-Threat to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DO release dates back to 1994.
