Play Tel-Tel Mahjong Online
You match tiles against AI opponents that either play like they're half-asleep or predict your moves before you make them—ranked mode starts chill but gets brutal fast. That old online play's gone, so it's just you and the Genesis-era mahjong grind now.
Game Overview
Tel-Tel Mahjong for the Sega Genesis is one of those niche titles that’s equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Yeah, it’s another mahjong game—tiles, matching, all that—but what made it stand out back in the day was online play through the Mega Modem. Of course, that’s long gone now, so you’re stuck with the AI opponents.
You’ve got three computer players to go up against, and honestly, they range from "barely paying attention" to "psychic mind-reader" depending on the difficulty. There’s a standard match mode where you can tweak rules to your liking, but the real meat is the ranking mode—it starts easy, then suddenly you’re sweating over every tile placement. The presentation is barebones, but if you’re into retro mahjong, it’s a decent time-waster.
Just don’t expect any modern conveniences.
