Moujiya or Ryougae Puzzle Mouja[a] is a falling blocks puzzle video game from Fujitsu Pasocom Systems, the consumer software division of Fujitsu.[1] Initially developed for computers running Windows 3.11 and above, it later got made into an arcade video game,[2] which itself was ported to popular home consoles of the time.[6][4]
Moujiya’s gameplay is similar to Puyo Puyo, in that it is a falling blocks game where the units fall in pairs and must be grouped together with other units of the same type. Here, the units consist of yen coins that are exchanged for one of the next denomination when enough coins are grouped side by side. When two ¥500 coins are grouped together, they are exchanged for a ¥1,000 banknote and are removed from the board.[1] This mechanic was later copied by Face and combined with Magical Drop’s gameplay to make Money Idol Exchanger, which saw much wider success, being released across the world, possibly due to the popularity of SNK's Neo Geo arcade platform at the time.[7]
