Game summary
A dual Mahjong game/RPG from Nihon Bussan.

It features two modes: in one, the player takes on different opponents in one-on-one games, while in the other the player is walking around in an RPG world with party members and mahjong games as the "battles".
The original Mahjong Shikaku game was released for the Arcades and MSX2 and is a "strip mahjong" game. This enhanced PC Engine version removes the nudity.
