Introduce
Mahjong Companion is a Mahjong game developed for the NES console, offering a traditional Japanese-style Mahjong experience. In the game, players will face three AI (artificial intelligence) opponents in classic Mahjong matches.
The primary goal of the game is to build a valid hand, typically consisting of four sets (either identical tiles or sequential tiles) and one pair. Players will take turns drawing new tiles and discarding unwanted ones, striving to complete their hand before their opponents.
The gameplay of Mahjong Companion adheres to the basic rules of Japanese Mahjong (Riichi Mahjong), including concepts like "Chi" (claiming a sequence of three tiles), "Pon" (claiming three identical tiles), "Kan" (claiming four identical tiles), and "Riichi" (declaring a ready hand). Players need to strategically manage the tiles in their hand, observe discarded tiles, and anticipate opponents' moves to optimize their chances of winning (Tsumo or Ron).
The control system is straightforward, using the D-pad to select and move tiles, along with the A/B buttons to perform actions such as drawing, discarding, or declaring special moves. Despite its simple 8-bit graphics, the game effectively conveys the atmosphere of a Mahjong match, focusing on player strategy and skill. Mahjong Companion is an ideal choice for Mahjong enthusiasts looking to enjoy the game on the classic NES platform.
