It can't. But this, this is pretty damn close. Here, a gentleman is standing and up and stretching in front of a mahjong game. Remember it's okay to enjoy yourself in Japanese game centers, just don't enjoy yourself in Japanese game centers.

Many thanks to Luke for his Pointing Fish skills! The unfished pic is in the link below and not as bad as you think — whatever that means! Still, it's both a little NSFW and a lotta unsettling.

<![CDATA[The Arcade Mahjong Public Shame]]> Sexy mahjong games. Your more discriminating Japanese arcades typically have a couple cabinets that feature mahjong ladies in various states of undress. Thrilling stuff! Some people find these games a tad too thrilling, a tad too titillating, so do beware if you plan on hitting the risky jump. NSFW carpenter's smile ahead! You've been warned, so don't go complaining.

<![CDATA[Mobile Mahjong Gets Saucy]]> Mahjong's OK. Little boring, though. Seasons and colours? A bit naff. What the game really needs is a bunch of scantily-dressed girlies under the board, whose naughty poses are revealed only when you clear the table. And that's exactly what D3's THE Sexy Szechuan Province, a Japanese mobile game, delivers. And yes. Stop. Don't bother asking. That is its real name.

<![CDATA["Mature" Game Hitting Sees Dual DS And PSP Action]]>

Slapped with Japan's equivalent of ESRB's "Mature" rating, the Chuuka na Janshi Tenho Painyan: Remix is not a sex game. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A SEX GAME. Rather, it is intended for Japanese players over the age of 15. The game is a portable take on the PS2 incarnation, and the characters were created by famous character designer Kenichi Sonoda. The portable versions go on sale in late June, and like I said, this is not a sex game. Haven't played the original, and I imagine its fairly standard stuff for mah-jong games. Still, don't be surprised if you can use the touch pen in novel ways.

<![CDATA[Space Invaders Mahjong]]>

While we hate to post eBay stuff, this is too good to pass up: A Space Invaders mahjong set. Know that in Japan mostly men play mahjong. Men who smoke. And like Space Invaders, apparently.

<![CDATA[Mahjong... With Bikinis (Or Vice Versa)]]>

In Japan, mahjong is largely a male preserve. Thus, explaining game publisher D3's bikini-wearing, tile flipping gambling-slash-floor sweeping bonanza. Dubbed THE Dokodemo Gal Mahjong, the game is a PSP version of the Simple 2000 title Love * Mahjong. The game offers a chance to chit-chat with your virtual competitor, an array of customizable costumes, and "Service Time" in which the female characters are given tasks that need completion. Call it a hunch, but no doubt the game's producer pitched this as "Dead or Alive meets mahjong."

<![CDATA[Worst Plug and Play System Ever]]>

Proof positive that any idea, taken too far, can be utter crap. Just what were the good folks at Hoyle thinking when they licensed out the rights to use their respectable name for a cheap ass plug and play system, which lists Mahjong as its triple-A title?

The thing, which is shaped sorta like a big stack of Mahjong tiles, only comes with 11 games and none of them are good. Among the list of Family TV Gaming System titles are Old Maid, Go Fish and High Card.

The worst part is that this is the sort of bargain bin fodder that unknowing grandmas always buy by the cartful as presents for their spawn.

Somewhere a 7-year-old is sitting in a crumpled heap of gift wrap with a still sealed Family TV Gaming System in his lap, bawling his eyes out.

<![CDATA[Windows Vista's Free Games]]>

Well, Windows Vista and DX10 are supposed to be the next big thing for PC gaming. Halo 2, after all, will be the first game that requires Vista and DX10... and, I mean, you just know Vista's gonna rock for games if it's the only OS that can render a two year old game running on a 700mhz processor in full glory!

But what about the crappy free games that Windows ships with? Solitaire and Minesweeper and the like? How's Vista going to pimp them up? Will there be any new additions to the arsenal? Here are the games Gamespot takes a look at:

• Solitaire
• FreeCell
• Spider Solitaire
• Hearts,
• Minesweeper
• Chess Titans;
• Mahjong Titans
• Purple Place;
• Inkball

They look blandly attractive, as you'd expect. It's nice to see Windows start shipping with a chess program and a mahjong program, though.

Ed's Note: Halo 2 actually requires DX9.
