Mahjong Quest (Japan)

Taito’s Mahjong Quest, released in 1990, offers a unique twist on the traditional tabletop game. A single player takes on the challenge of mahjong within an RPG-inspired setting, utilizing a specialized keyboard to match tiles and clear the board. The gameplay incorporates power-ups designed to assist with increasingly complex tile arrangements. The game runs on Taito's F2 system hardware. Developed by Whiteboard/Santos, Mahjong Quest features music composed by V. Ohashi, known for his work on Pinch Panchi. Players will find themselves immersed in a distinctive visual style as they navigate the rules of mahjong and strive to overcome each round's strategic puzzle.
