If you've ever wanted to play mahjong with that classic Sega Genesis vibe, Jiu Ji Ma Jiang II – Ye Yan Bian is the one. The pixelated tiles have this weirdly satisfying clack when you match them, and the background music is pure 16-bit nostalgia—kinda repetitive after a while, but in that comforting way old games do.

It’s not just basic mahjong either—there’s some extra rules and twists that keep it from feeling like every other version. Took me a few rounds to figure out what the game was doing differently, but once it clicked, I was hooked. The AI isn’t brutal, but it’s not a pushover either, which makes it great for killing time without feeling like you’re just going through the motions.

Honestly, if you’ve got a soft spot for retro games or just want a chill mahjong session with some personality, this one’s worth dusting off the Genesis for.
