MAHJONG 64
<==[ N64/V64/96 MB ]=======================>
Weapon X -> Well, I don't really know how to play mahjong. But for those who
do, get Mahjong 64! It has some nice graphics and animation. The
controls are also good! If you like playing Mahjong, I recomment you
to get this game! It's better than the other mahjong game that came
out for the N64!
Weapon X -> RATINGS 8/10
Strider -> This is a Mahjong game, all I can say is looks great if I could read
Japanese. Yeah it was better than Mahjong Master but hey who wants
to buy a Nintendo64 to play MAHJONG!?!? Play the real stuff!!
Strider -> RATINGS 7/10
