Retro Mahjong and your preferred games (lemmy.world)

Two years back i went to Sakuracon in Seattle and they had a whole room dedicated to teaching Riichi Mahjong, and my wife and i found it to be a particularly addicting game. Naturally wanted to find some console versions because we dont really have other people around us who are interested in playing the table game.

ive seen a lot of retro mahjong games and not so much modern console ones. not really a big deal, but there seems to be a lot of import mahjong games and i cant really tell even from gameplay videos are considered ‘good’. So, if you like these games, which ones would you recommend? i have a super famicom, and a saturn. im not opposed to buying another console for a game if it is like the golden goose of mahjong.

Additionally, why do a lot of these games have some sexy overtones to them? i dont mind it, but this game type seems to have it in excess.

My boyfriend and I play riichi mahjong via phone app (just called Richii Mahjong on the Play Store on Android) and it's solid. I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but hope it works in a pinch!

I think there's "sexy" versions in the same way you can find porn poker or shape matching games, if that makes sense.

Honestly, that one’s pretty good. Three in the back seat and one in the passenger seat and they all get to play locally-networked riichi on long road trips.

Sorry, driver, no room for a fifth.
