Game summary

A Sengoku era themed Riichi (Japanese) Mahjong game. It was the first mahjong game released on the PC Engine and has since been rereleased on Wii Virtual Console and PSN. The game features Single mode and Conquest Mode. In single mode you play a single mahjong game against the game cast. In conquest mode you play as a prefecture and try to conquer the entirety of Japan by winning on Mahjong. The game only features 4-Player mahjong and can only be played against the computer. There is no password feature for the conquest mode, so it needs to be beaten in a single sitting.
First released: Aug 1988

Play Sengoku Mahjong on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sengoku Mahjong on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
