Ide Yousuke Meijin no Jissen Mahjong is a classic riichi mahjong game released for the NES in 1987. Endorsed by professional mahjong player Yousuke Ide, it offers a traditional four-player mahjong experience focused on realistic gameplay and strategic depth.
How to Play
The goal is to build a winning hand of 14 tiles (four sets and a pair) faster than your opponents while scoring the most points. The game follows standard Japanese riichi mahjong rules. Use the D-pad (mapped to your arrow keys) to select tiles, the A button (Z on your keyboard) to confirm actions, draw, or discard, and the B button (X) to cancel.
Tips
Pay close attention to the discarded tiles to gauge what your opponents are building and avoid dealing into their hands. Early on, focus on securing an open hand if it guarantees a quick win, but remember that closed hands offer more flexibility and higher scoring potential.
