Gambler Jiko Chuushinha (ぎゅわんぶらあ自己中心派? lit. Gambler Self-Centered School) is a mahjong game based upon a manga license of the same name that was developed by Game Arts for the Famicom, MSX, NEC PC-8801, and NEC PC-9801, and published in Japan by Asmik towards the end of 1988. Being based on a manga, it has a cast of 24 characters from the comics that the player can choose to compete against. Beyond the manga license, it is very much still a mahjong game, focusing mostly on playing the tile-based board game, though using a difficult variation on the usual rules of the game, known as Reach Mahjong.
