One of the photos in the London 2011 gallery on RISC OS Open
- A Wii, running RISC OS in a Lego case - features a game of
Shanghai with RISC OS icons on the tiles. I play this game
quite often and quite fancied those tiles! A search, however,
proved fruitless. Does anyone know where I might obtain them?

Hi Stewart,
This might be it.....

Failing that there's version by the late Paul Vigay which I'll try and
track down
if you want me too.

Regards,
Martin.

Martin, I know where to find the game itself, indeed, I have it.
No, what I'm after is the particular tile set featuring RISC OS icons, as
depicted in this photo from the recent London show:

No, that version does not have this tile set.
