Tarot is a very unusual game by Scorpion Soft. It can be simply
described as a computerized fortune-telling game based around Tarot cards.
The game offers three kind of fortune telling - the first one is Love
and probably tells the player when and where he/her will find their loved one and how
lucky he/her will be getting there. Then
comes the obvious Business and Study categories. After this first
choice is made, three different ways to draw the cards are proposed,
the Heart shape where the cards are drawn bottom to top then the Cross shape
and finally the V Shape which splits into two different paths.
Passed this point, the player can choose to either shuffle the cards,
or to draw. Each card is then turned and the fortune telling unfolds.
Cards have different meanings, and their orientation also influences the
reading. Keep in mind that the game is entirely in Japanese
though. It is also interesting to notice that the game was designed by Dr.Aizeki,
a famous researcher in psychology, horoscope, Tarot Cards and Feng Shui
in Japan. Some of his work is still available online today and still
published by Scorpion Soft.

Tarot is a very unusual title and somehow a quite interesting and unique concept.
What about relying on a machine to tell your future ? If I have had this game as
a kid, it would have definitively told me I was spending too much time playing
video games and writing lines of code. But if a machine can tell you about
your future, what about the spiritual powers that are supposed to be involved ?
Can digital random numbers be also a source of spirituality ? Anyway, I'm
going a bit too far into this on. Tarot is a curious title and it is all
in Japanese. Western gamers will sadly only enjoy the card shuffling part
and maybe the full-screen graphics of the cards.
