"Mahjong Tenshi Angel Lips," released for the Sega Saturn in 1996, is a digital adaptation of the classic Chinese game mahjong, incorporating a unique blend of traditional gameplay mechanics with the thematic allure of anime-style characters. The game is a notable entry in the genre of mahjong video games that became popular in Japan during the mid-to-late 90s. In this title, players engage in mahjong battles against various female anime characters, each with her own distinctive personality and style. The game is aimed primarily at an adult audience, featuring elements of playful flirtation and light-hearted dialogue that dynamically responds to the progress of the game, adding layers of interaction beyond the standard tile-matching mechanics.

"Mahjong Tenshi Angel Lips" incorporates a single-player mode where the player progresses through a series of levels, each guarded by different characters who must be defeated to advance.

These elements, combined with the quirky character interactions, make the game stand out among other mahjong titles. Although it never saw a release outside of Japan, the game has garnered a niche following due to its charming graphics, character design, and engaging gameplay style, making it a curious and enjoyable title for fans of mahjong and Japanese pop culture alike.
