Gambler Jiko Chuushinha 2 (Japan)

**Gambler Jiko Chuushinha 2** is a classic Mahjong game for the NES, offering an authentic Japanese Mahjong experience right on your TV screen. In this game, players engage in intense Mahjong matches against various AI opponents, each with their own playing style and difficulty level. The primary goal is to form valid winning hands (yaku) from your initial 13 tiles and subsequently drawn tiles, then declare "ron" or "tsumo" to win the round.

The gameplay of **Gambler Jiko Chuushinha 2** adheres to standard Japanese Mahjong (Riichi Mahjong) rules. Players take turns drawing a tile and discarding an unwanted one, aiming to create four sets (either "shuntsu" - a sequence of three, or "kotsu" - three identical tiles) and one pair. The game demands clear strategy from the player, ranging from deciding which tiles to keep or discard, to reading opponents and recognizing signs that they are close to completing their hand. Elements like "Riichi" (declaring a ready hand), "Dora" (bonus tiles), and complex scoring rules are all faithfully recreated.

The interface of **Gambler Jiko Chuushinha 2** is designed to be simple yet effective, easily viewable on the NES's older screen. Players can select various options before starting a match, including the number of players (typically 1 vs 3 AIs). The sound and background music are distinctly 80s Japanese game style, creating an appropriate atmosphere for a strategic gambling game. This is an excellent title for anyone who loves Mahjong or wishes to learn about this traditional game.
