Tales of the Arabian Nights Pinball
After the first night with a new wife, Sultan Saladin has them killed and with
a powerful army to protect him everyone is powerless to stop him. That is
until the Sultan kidnapped Prince Imrahil’s sister to be his wife and taken
her to Baghdad. You play as the Prince as you journey over eight levels
avoiding various obstacles, guards and nasties before your sister is home and
safe. You start on a ship crossing the sea until you are flying a magic carpet
to escape from the Sultan.
The game is split into two styles of game, a platform game with the whole
level shown on one screen and a horizontal scrolling game viewed from the
side. The platform sections see you in various locations and you must collect
six jugs with the letters to spell the word Arabian which must be collected in
the correct order. You can climb ladders and ropes while jumping up to higher
platforms. Don’t fall too far as this will kill you. The scrolling sections
are between the platform levels and the first one sees you on a raft avoiding
crocodiles or falling rocks. The other sections you fly on magic carpets
avoiding other carpet flyers and nasties.
Tales of the Arabian Nights is a one player game where you have three lives
to complete the game, lose them all and it’s game over. A joystick or keyboard
is used to control the hero.
