Tof gameplay2

Gameplay (Stage 1-1).

The goal of the game is to conquer back the districts of Mainland China by completing the 21 boards split across 7 levels. To clear a board, all pairs must be joined in less than 3 turns before the time runs out. Pairing 2 pieces refills the time bar by 2 dots (about 6 seconds). After completing 3 boards, a cutscene shows a warrior entering a fortress and replacing the flags of the conquered district.

Versions

Zhan Guo Si Chuan Sheng had 3 different releases: the original, one in North America by AVE and yet another one by Hacker International with some slight changes.

Tiles of Fate

Released in 1990 by American Video Entertainment under license by C&E, this release features an English title screen and rewritten text for the cutscenes, the original containing poor grammar.

Idol Shisen Mahjong

An advanced hack made and published at an unknown date by Hacker International supposedly under license by C&E. The setting was changed for the publisher's need; instead of reconquering China, the player tries to win against a girl to undress her gradually. After 5 rounds (6 for the second one), the player is awarded with a partial nude picture. There are 4 different girls likely named after popular idols from 1990. The mechanics of the game and graphics for the tiles remains untouched. All the music was changed however.
