About This Game
Set in a fictional mahjong school where players compete against increasingly skilled female opponents, with victory animations becoming more revealing based on performance.
Introduced innovative 'fever mode' mechanics where consecutive wins would trigger special animations and bonus rounds with higher stakes.
Used digitized portraits for opponents with animated expressions reacting to gameplay, a technical showcase for late 1980s arcade hardware.
Became a cultural phenomenon in Japan, spawning multiple sequels and influencing the design of later mahjong video games with its blend of traditional gameplay and fanservice elements.
