Ojanko Yakata (Japan)

V-System’s Ojanko Yakata presents a tabletop mahjong experience for two players, released in Japan during December 1986. This game uniquely combines the traditional tile-matching gameplay of mahjong with a high school setting. Players use a dedicated keyboard to arrange and discard tiles, aiming to form legal sequences and ultimately win the hand against their opponent. The title translates to "Mahjong Girl Mansion - Triumph In the Mahjong Match," hinting at the lighthearted theme woven into this strategic game. Ojanko Yakata utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor for its core operations and incorporates sound chips from General Instrument and OKI for audio feedback during gameplay. This is the first title in a series that would later include Ojanko Yakata 2bankan - Shobatsuki Mahjong sen and Ojanko High School.
