Looking for some PCE Mahjong game recommendations
« on: September 21, 2010, 05:38:11 AM »
I know some people don't like the genre but a friend taught me how to play last year and I must say it really is quite an involving 'card' sort of game.... though I'm still not entirely sure how you score a hand when someone has won.

Anyway I've been playing the hell out of Super Mahjong TaiKai... mostly loosing as the computer doesn't seem to make mistakes of any kind and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for other PCE Mahjong titles they've tried that are any good... unfortunatly I'm well aware that along with J-RPGs some people seem to avoid mahjong games like the plague but in all honesty if you take a weekend to learn the game properly it can open a whole new genre up to you.

Oh I don't mind the game is 1 on 1 or 4 players, my friend taught me with his family set on a dinning room table and Super Mahjong Taikai is 4 player.

So yeah... any recommendations for some good PCE Mahjong titles?

Tats it says "No games found"

I even tried logging out of PCEdaisakusen and still "No games found"

Wait a minute... are you suggesting there are no good PCE Mahjong games?

Oh I know there's a TON of them on PCE but I'm looking for any that stand out... I know stupid question considering the genre but I played an interesting one on AES that played like an auto RPG where the character would walk around the villages and fields automatically and every now and again you'd have random encounters but the battles would be mahjong games.

You know just something a little different/ interesting.

Thanks man, those are some great reviews! I've never read any of thebrothersduomazov reviews before, looks like I got some reading material for tonight!

As for the games reviewed, I'd be wrong to say they look interesting and deep, haha in fact they look like a shallow campy romp aimed at guys in their late teens/early twenties, I'm in it for the Mahjong and from the looks of what I see Mahjong Lemon Angel looks like it may have to be a purchase... though Mahjong Sword looks a lot like the one I played on AES.

Mahjong Sword is a lot of fun.
