Mahjong G-Taste

Mahjong G‑Taste, also known as G‑taste Mahjong, was developed and published by Psikyo in April 2002 for Japanese arcades. Based on Hiroki Yagami’s manga series G‑Taste, it is a rare non‑shooter title from Psikyo. It later received a PlayStation 2 port in 2003, and was released exclusively for the Japanese market with no official overseas localization. Players compete in one‑on‑one Japanese riichi mahjong matches against various female characters from the original manga. Winning hands earns points to progress through matches and unlock CG artwork illustrated in the manga’s art style, paired with dedicated character voice acting. Powered by SH‑2 arcade hardware, the game features detailed 2D character portraits, original background music and voice clips, following the classic strip‑mahjong arcade format. Despite coming from a studio famous for vertical shoot‑em‑ups, it implements a complete riichi mahjong rule‑set including yaku, riichi and dora mechanics. The arcade version can be emulated via MAME, while the PS2 port contains exclusive bonus content. It remains a well‑recognized manga‑licensed mahjong arcade title from the early‑2000s Japanese arcade scene。

Questi sono i tasti predefiniti. Ogni scheda arcade ha un numero di tasti diverso e attribuisce loro significati diversi. Sopra trovi i tasti da 1 a 6 della scheda: sulle Neo Geo (The King of Fighters e affini) A/B/C/D sono i tasti 1–4, Metal Slug usa solo 1, 2 e 4 (sparo / salto / granata) e Pac-Man non ne usa nessuno. I picchiaduro a sei tasti con tre pugni e tre calci (Street Fighter II e simili) ricevono dal core un altro schema: pugno debole U, pugno medio I, pugno forte Q, calcio debole J, calcio medio K, calcio forte E. Fai clic sull’icona del gamepad 🎮 nella barra del player, poi su «Rimappa i tasti» per aprire le impostazioni dei controlli dell’emulatore (tastiera e gamepad, salvate automaticamente). I gamepad vengono rilevati in automatico. Su smartphone compaiono i pulsanti a schermo.
