Play Jongbou (Japan) Online
You match mahjong tiles to break blocks while juggling a bouncing ball with a paddle—Arkanoid meets solitaire with that janky NES charm.
Jongbou is a Japan-only Nintendo Entertainment System release from 1989, developed by Nihon Bussan. It arrived late in the NES lifecycle, a time when developers were still experimenting with puzzle mechanics and tile-matching concepts on the console.
You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, bouncing a ball upward to break blocks arranged like a mahjong solitaire board. The main objective is to clear all the tiles by matching identical pairs, but you can only select tiles that are free on at least one side. The ball constantly rebounds, forcing you to manage your paddle position while scanning the board for valid matches. The pacing is deliberate, yet the unrelenting ball adds a layer of tension to the strategic tile selection. It feels like a race against your own focus, a quiet battle of coordination and pattern recognition.
