Mahjong Taikai (麻雀大会? lit. Mahjong Tournament) is a mahjong game developed and published by Koei. It was initially published in Japan for the NEC PC-9801 home computer system in 1985. It was later ported to the Famicom and published in 1989. It features multiple historical figures as possible CPU opponents, including Masamune Date and Napoleon Bonapart.
As with any mahjong game, the goal is to complete a winning hand before any of the other players can, and the player earns an amount of points dependent on the "strength" of their winning hand. They might also lose points depending on who won and how. Koei would continue making Mahjong Taikai games for other platforms, including Super Mahjong Taikai for the Super Famicom in 1992.
