Sega's Mahjong Arcade game now downloadable.

Sega has been operating this Arcade game since 2000's with continued updates...

Only now it's downloadable on PC's and iOS

Again not really meaningful in anyway, but it's kinda neat to see how one of their Arcade titles look. The music is nice.

Aside from the tile-matching game Shanghai that uses mahjong tiles, I have no idea how proper mahjong is played. Looks like this game contains a number of different 'modes' and rule variants for 1-4 players.

Still, any time a Sega arcade game comes to home platforms, it gives me hope to eventually be able to play Border Break.

Same here. I've actually been considering getting the indie Dreamcast game Maqiupai so I can learn the game. It's the only indie Dreamcast game I don't own.

Anybody know how bad the micro-transactions are? I might give the PC version a shot.

Its basicilly free I think.

I dont think Sega cares about making any profit off of it...kinda like the AnswerxAnswer in the Yakuza demos, or Sonic 1 on iOS, Sega already made enough money prior
