| history | Janshin Densetsu - Quest of Jongmaster (c) 1994 Aicom. A mahjong game with Role-Playing-Game elements and selectable items. - TECHNICAL - SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware Game ID : 0048 Main CPU : 68000 (@ 12 Mhz) Sound CPU : Z80 (@ 4 Mhz) Sound Chips : YM2610 (@ 8 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 320 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 59.19 Hz Palette Colors : 4096 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 2 - TRIVIA - Released in June 1994. The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Jong God Legend'. Janshin Densetsu appears to be a complete ripoff of 1991's "Mahjong Quest" by Taito. The basic premise is the same : a girl in an RPG-style format walking along a world map and encountering enemies which are battled through mahjong matches. The enemy encounter screens have identical borders and the enemies are drawn in the same comic-anime style. Before each mahjong match, there are selectable spells that can be bought with stored MP, the screen and spells being identical in both cases. The player also has a Sword and Shield which can be activated during a match which give the player special abilities. The in-game text is virtually identical. The mahjong tiles themselves look almost exactly the same save for the backs; the mahjong game screen itself is almost exactly the same. Even upon defeating an enemy, they are turned into a scantily-clad woman as does your character when she is defeated. The only major difference between the two seems to be that "Mahjong Quest" is controlled with a mahjong control panel and Jyanshin Densetsu is controlled with the MVS Neo-Geo joystick. The next Aicom game on SNK Neo-Geo MVS is 1995's "Pulstar", shares lots of similarities with "R-Type" as well. - PORTS - * Consoles : SNK Neo-Geo CD (1995) NEC PC-Engine Arcade CD (1995) - SOURCES - Game's rom.
