Game Overview

Jangou Simulation Mahjong Do 64 is one of those N64 gems you don’t hear about often—probably because it never left Japan. If you’ve ever wanted to dive into Japanese mahjong without the pressure of real opponents glaring at you, this is a solid way to learn. The tiles have that satisfying clack when you place them, and the AI isn’t shy about calling out your bad moves.

At first, the menus are a bit of a puzzle if you don’t read Japanese, but after a few rounds, you start recognizing the symbols for "ron" and "tsumo." The graphics are simple but clean, with just enough flair to make the table feel alive. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be—this is mahjong, after all.

If you’re into strategy games or just curious about mahjong, this one’s worth booting up in an emulator. Just don’t blame me when you lose three hands in a row to the CPU’s ruthless efficiency.
