Description

"Super Real Mahjong PV" is a video game developed by SETA Corporation, released for the Sega Saturn in 1995. It belongs to a series of arcade Mahjong titles but stands out due to its emphasis on "strip Mahjong," where the player competes against animated female characters, and winning rounds leads to sequences where these characters are depicted in gradually less clothing. The game is structured around a series of Mahjong matches, each presenting a challenge through different opponents, each with their own style of gameplay. The game features detailed 2D graphics and animations, which were quite polished and appealing at its time of release, particularly in its depiction of the various characters.

As part of the "Super Real Mahjong" series, which began in the late 1980s, "Super Real Mahjong PV" was the fifth installment, directly following "Super Real Mahjong PIV." The series itself is noted for integrating an adult-themed reward system, which was controversial and led to various degrees of censorship and content modification in different releases. "Super Real Mahjong PV" specifically, alongside its predecessors, faced scrutiny and was subject to age restrictions, particularly limiting its availability to a younger audience. This title, like others in the series, utilized a traditional Mahjong gameplay mechanism that not only required skills in the ancient game but also incorporated strategic depth and character interaction, providing a blend of traditional game mechanics with an added narrative element appealing mainly to adult players.
