Game Overview

Kindai Mahjong Special is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System release from 1990, developed by I'Max and published by Yonezawa PR21. It arrived early in the SNES lifecycle, offering a digital version of the classic Japanese tile game during a period when the console's library was still expanding.

You control your own hand of tiles, aiming to form specific winning combinations by drawing and discarding. The game features richi declarations to indicate you are one tile from victory, and you must carefully watch opponents' discards to avoid feeding them the tiles they need. Matches progress deliberately, demanding patience and strategic foresight; a single misplayed tile can turn a sure win into a sudden loss. It feels like a tense, quiet battle of wits played out on a glowing screen.
