Description

This masterpiece revolutionized the standard for Mahjong games of its time by strictly forbidding "cheating" and surprising players with its formidable AI. By featuring characters from the classic "Journey to the West" as opponents, the game provides an authentic experience where success relies on reading specific playstyles rather than mere luck. Its groundbreaking "Research Mode," which allows players to view opponents' hands and learn strategies from a master, demonstrated a sincere commitment to helping players improve their skills. By bringing a human-like tactical depth to computer-based matches, this title stands as a monumental work essential to the history of Mahjong games.

Story

After being trapped on Mount Five Elements, Sun Wukong began playing Mahjong as a pastime, quickly honing his skills with a resolve to clean up the chaotic Mahjong world rife with cheating and fighting. Commissioned by the monk Sanzang to seek out the "Mahjong that leads to righteousness," Wukong embarks on a journey toward India, engaging in serious matches against the demons that block his path. The player's goal is to face off against 24 unique characters, increasing their own proficiency while securing victory after victory.
