Boyographic - Yakuman (役満) Game Boy Review
106To celebrate the 30th birthday of the Game Boy, let's take a look at the one Japanese launch title never to get an English translation - Yakuman! A Mahjong game with a long and storied history!
The excellent 'Before Mario' was a great source of information on the early works of Nintendo! For more info on the company's 'toy years', the 'Computer Mah-jong Yakuman' and more, visit http://blog.beforemario.com/
The links I would recommend checking out to get a better handle on Mahjong are:

Game Escape's Mahjong Video Game Series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inMwG1xVZZ4&t=835s
and the excellent iOS game, Kemono Mahjong - http://kemonomahjong.com/
This is the 112th episode of Boyographic, the series looking to highlight the highs and lows of the Gameboy library, playing the hits and the misses so you don't have to!
