Arcade Game: Arabian (1983 Sun Electronics)

[@lordevyl8317]

The game was also ported to a lot of the 8-bit microcomputers under the name Tales of the Arabian Nights (by Interceptor Software)

Why do people keep calling that a port? Does Arabian have a horizontal scrolling magic carpet flying segment? Other than the theme/setting and spelling Arabian, I'm confused why people are calling it a rip-off, clone, port, etc.

I'm glad my parents took me to church just so I could know they used "thine is thy Glory" in quite a few video games back then.

It's like Donkey Kong meets Prince of Persia

Cool another classic game from the past 😊

I remember the music of Scheherazade on the first screen when I played this game in the arcade. The William Tell overture just doesn't fit.

[@ahrichards5241]

4a8p9x Yeah this is the Japanese Sunsoft version, not the American Atari version.

[@4a8p9x]

Thanks for clearing that up

[@rotesil]

Background musics (Atari only):
Levels 1 & 3: Rimsky Korsakov - Scheherazade

Why the William Tell Overture? Why didn't the designers just the cliche tune dooty-do-dee-doo? And, simply put, it's just another Donkey Kong ripoff!
