Let's assume the number of games they played last season is x.
According to the given information, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.
So, 1/3 of the number of games they played last season is x/3.
Therefore, the number of games they played this season is (x/3) + 12.
But the total number of games they played this season is given as 21.
So, the equation becomes (x/3) + 12 = 21.
Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation gives (x/3) = 21 - 12.
Simplifying the equation gives (x/3) = 9.
To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 3, giving x = 9 * 3.
Therefore, the number of games they played last season is 27 games.
Hence, the answer is 27 games.
