Mahjong Keiji (Japan)

Mahjong Keiji uniquely blends two seemingly disparate genres: Mahjong tile matching and detective puzzle-solving. Instead of simply clearing tiles, players utilize Mahjong skills to uncover clues and solve mysteries. Each stage presents a different case with detailed crime scenes. Players gather information from witnesses, analyze the scene, and search for Mahjong tiles containing crucial clues. Arranging Mahjong tiles isn't just about eliminating matching pairs; it reveals hidden images and information, guiding players closer to identifying the culprit. The gameplay is logical, requiring players to deduce and combine gathered clues to solve puzzles, make accurate judgments, and apprehend criminals. The game features various levels with increasing difficulty, demanding keen observation skills, sharp logical thinking, and patience. While simple, Mahjong Keiji's graphics are crisp and easy to view on the GBA. The game's soundtrack is also quite catchy, creating a suspenseful and exciting atmosphere for each case.
