Summary

Professional Mahjong Goku is a rare Famicom Disk System title that only ever saw a Japanese release, making it a hidden gem for retro collectors. What sets it apart from earlier Mahjong games on the console is its four‑player mode, faithfully reproducing the way the tile game is played around a real table. The developers managed to squeeze three AI opponents into the limited hardware, a technical feat that was uncommon at the time. A "professional" twist lets you wager cash on each hand, with payouts tied to the strength of your winning combination – and you can even raise the stakes mid‑game, though a loss means the money disappears entirely. For anyone who enjoys the strategic depth of Mahjong and the thrill of a gamble, this obscure disk offers a surprisingly rich experience that still feels fresh today.
