Puzzle Game Rong Rong (Europe)
Nakanihon (Activision license) • 1994


Puzzle Game Rong Rong challenges players to a unique twist on classic solitaire mahjong gameplay. Two players can compete head-to-head in a split-screen mode, racing against each other to clear identical tile arrangements first. Alternatively, single players can advance through a story mode by strategically removing matching tiles and progressing the narrative. The game offers three distinct modes of play beyond the core puzzle mechanic. “Sexy Girls” mode introduces mini-games interspersed between levels that reveal stylized character art upon successful completion. Each level also features a standard "Rong Rong" experience, while the "Battle Mode" pits players directly against one another in a frantic tile-matching duel. Underneath its gameplay lies a technical foundation featuring a Zilog Z80 processor and sound chips from Yamaha and OKI, creating both the audio and visual components of this puzzle title. A hidden test menu can be accessed by performing a specific sequence of button presses, offering players a behind-the-scenes look at the game's workings.
