Crystal Gal 2 (Japan 860620)

Crystal Gal II Mahjong is a two-player tabletop game released in Japan by Nichibutsu in 1986. This arcade title presents a digital adaptation of the traditional Chinese tile game mahjong for two contestants. Players strategically combine tiles to form sets and sequences, aiming to be the first to complete a valid hand and declare victory. The gameplay involves drawing and discarding tiles, carefully observing your opponent’s moves, and anticipating their strategy. Utilizing graphics displaying 256 colors on a horizontal screen with a resolution of 512 x 224 pixels, Crystal Gal II Mahjong offers a visual representation of the tile-matching challenge. The game's internal workings rely on a Zilog Z80 processor and audio hardware including a General Instrument AY8910 sound chip to provide both processing power and accompanying sounds. Crystal Gal II Mahjong builds upon an earlier installment in the Crystal Gal series, offering a refined experience for fans of the tabletop classic.
