Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise - Dear My Love

Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise - Dear My Love is a two-player tabletop arcade game released in Japan in 1998. Developed by Media/Sonnet, this game presents players with a digital version of the traditional Chinese tile-matching game, mahjong. Two individuals face off against each other, maneuvering an eight-way joystick and utilizing four buttons to strategically select and place tiles, aiming to create valid combinations according to established rules. The gameplay focuses entirely on the core mechanics of mahjong—drawing, discarding, and claiming tiles—with the objective being to be the first player to complete a winning hand. Powered by a Motorola 68EC020 processor running at 24 Mhz, the game provides a focused experience centered around strategic tile placement and competitive play. Previous versions of this title were released on both Sega Saturn and Panasonic 3DO consoles in Japan. This arcade cabinet offers a straightforward and engaging challenge for those familiar with mahjong or eager to learn its intricacies within a head-to-head setting.
