Mahjong Janjan Baribari (Japan)

Mahjong Janjan Baribari is a two-player tabletop arcade game released in Japan in 1992 by Nichibutsu, developed with contributions from Yubis and AV Japan. Players engage in a traditional Mahjong match against their opponent, strategically matching tiles to form winning hands. The gameplay revolves around drawing, discarding, and claiming tiles, aiming to complete specific patterns as defined by the rules of Mahjong. The game utilizes two Zilog Z80 processors for its main functions and sound, along with a YM3812 chip and digital-to-analog converters to generate audio cues. Achieving certain hands, specifically those containing dragon tiles (the Dragon, Middle, and White pieces), awards bonus points. Mastering the tile combinations and anticipating your opponent's moves are key to victory in this competitive tabletop experience.
