Super Shanghai Dragon's Eye
超级上海：龙之眼
Super Shanghai Dragon's Eye is an action game released in 1992 by Hot-B Co., Ltd. for arcade hardware. Based on the Shanghai tile-matching series, this entry adds a competitive or action-oriented twist to the classic mahjong solitaire format. Players work through arrangements of stacked mahjong tiles, matching identical pairs to clear the board. The game features multiple stage layouts with increasing complexity, requiring players to plan removal sequences carefully to avoid deadlocks. Controls are handled through a joystick and buttons to select and confirm tile pairs. Hot-B built upon the franchise's familiar puzzle foundation while incorporating timed pressure and varied board configurations across stages, giving each level a distinct arrangement that demands attention to tile positioning and available matches.
