Description

Super Jangou ("Super Strong Sparrow" - the etymology of the word "mahjong" includes the kanji for "sparrow", and many mahjong games refer to it) is a mahjong game for the Super Famicom. The game was published by Victor Entertainment, and while the developer is not made clear in-game the programmer for Super Jangou was working for contract developers Office Koukan at the time when the game was made.

The player creates an avatar, including their name, portrait, date of birth and blood type, and takes on various computer opponents in four-player games. Each character/portrait has their own voice - demonstrated with small clips whenever they call a play - and will make comments during and after each round.
