thumb|upright=1.3|SameGame for Mac, by Takahiro Sumiya is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally released under the name CHAIN SHOT in 1985 by Kuniaki "Morisuke" Moribe. It has since been ported to numerous computer platforms, handheld devices, and even TiVo, with new versions as of 2016.

==History== SameGame was originally created as Chain Shot! in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe. It was distributed for Fujitsu's FM-8 and FM-7 platforms in a Japanese monthly personal computer magazine called Gekkan ASCII. In 1992, the game was ported as SameGame to Unix platforms by Eiji Fukumoto, to the NEC PC-9801 series by Wataru Yoshioka, and to Macintosh as ChainShot! by Eiichiro Mawatari. In 1993, it was ported to Windows 3.1 by Ikuo Hirohata. This version was translated into English by Hitoshi Ozawa, and is still available from his software archive. In 1994, Takahiro Sumiya ported it to Macintosh. This version has some gameplay differences—a choice of between two and five colors—and is probably the most widely distributed of the original series. It was the basis for the Same Gnome and KSame variations created for Linux.
