People seem to think that I'm Ron Balewski for some reason. I did not create Ron's Mah Jongg games, I merely host them on my website.

Ron's DOS and Win16 games will not run on a 64-bit operating system. Use DOSBox to play his DOS games. If you can locate a copy of Windows 3.1x, you can also install that in DOSBox (or a virtualization suite like Virtual PC, VirtualBox, or VMWare) and run his Win16 games from that. Since Windows XP is capable of running 16-bit software, you may also wish to install Windows XP Mode in order to run Ron's games from a pre-installed copy of Windows XP.

Ron initially was very enthusiastic about this website, and generously declared his older games freeware when I asked him about them. Ron stopped responding to my emails more than 5 years ago, and his website disappeared from the internet late last year. His last known phone number no longer works (I just tried again 5 minutes ago). I have even tried sending him money by PayPal as a way to convey a message to him. I have sent emails to every email address that he has ever made known to the public, and none of them have responded. While he may simply have changed his contact information and/or, for some reason, chosen not to respond to me, I have resigned myself that he is probably no longer alive.
