Face’s Mahjong Gakuen 2 - Gakuen-chou no Fukushuu, released in 1989, is a two-player tabletop arcade game centered around the traditional Chinese tile game of mahjong. Players take on the roles of students at the Mahjong Academy, striving to master the game and potentially "graduate," although the specifics of that goal remain within the gameplay itself. Utilizing a dedicated keyboard for input, players strategically match tiles according to established rules, aiming to build sets and ultimately win hands against their opponent. The game builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, Mahjong Gakuen - Sotsugyohen, offering a refined experience with updated graphics and sound. The title itself translates from Japanese as "Mahjong Academy 2 - Revenge of The Chancellor," hinting at a narrative element woven into the competitive gameplay. A Zilog Z80 processor powers the game's core functions, while dedicated sound chips manage both audio effects and musical accompaniment. Featuring contributions from a team of designers, programmers, and artists, Mahjong Gakuen 2 provides a focused and engaging experience for fans of tabletop games seeking an arcade challenge with a friend.
