Pro Mahjong Kiwame GB is one of those classic Game Boy mahjong games that feels like it was made for late-night train rides or lazy Sundays. It’s got that no-nonsense Japanese rule set—none of the simplified stuff—so if you’re used to riichi or dora tiles, this’ll feel right at home. The pixel art is clean, and the AI actually puts up a decent fight once you get past the early rounds.

First time I played, I got wrecked by the CPU’s sneaky waits, but after a few matches, you start picking up on the patterns. The music’s got that nostalgic Game Boy chiptune vibe, too—kinda repetitive, but weirdly soothing when you’re deep in a match. Definitely not for beginners, but if you’ve got a soft spot for old-school mahjong, this one’s a solid pick.
