Arabian Magic is a horizontally-scrolling hack and slash arcade game, released by Taito in 1992. It was also released on Taito Legends 2 for PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox

Description

The game is set in the mythical world of The Arabian Nights. A long time ago, an evil wizard has taken over the peaceful kingdom of Shahariyard and used sorcery to transform its king into a Monkey. The player must defeat each of the game's seven Guardians to reclaim the 'Jewel of Seven Colours' and release the king from the evil hex.

Gameplay

Each player can select from four distinctive characters:

Prince Lassid, the sword wielding hero, is a well-rounded character who has excellent speed and fast attacks.

Princess Lisa has excellent reach with her magic-based attacks and also has a special spinning move, performed by tapping forward twice. She is a fast character but suffers defensively.

Sinbad is a powerful character with a very useful flaming sword attack, done by holding the attack button and then releasing.

Afshael, much like Lisa, has excellent reach with his mace and also has a similar spinning attack done in the same manner. He has high defense but suffers in speed.

The four characters have the ability to summon a huge genie. The genie only stays on screen for a moment, but can be indirectly controlled to attack enemies with powerful blows.

Arabian Magic has seven different stages, each with one of the powerful guardians awaiting the player at the end of each level. Each guardian, once defeated, will drop a jewel which forms a part of the Jewel of Seven Colours. Guardians, once defeated, will join the player and become a spirit you can summon using the same button as the genie. Each level is littered with vases and wooden chests which, when broken, reveal treasure items and power-ups. The game has slight RPG elements in that stats, such as life, can be raised.

The game ends when the player has recovered the Jewel of Seven Colours, saved the King (making him human, in the process) and restored peace to Shahariyard.
