Arabian Dream Scheherazade (released in North America as The Magic of Scheherazade) is an ambitious action-RPG developed by Culture Brain for the NES in 1987. The game is notable for blending two distinct gameplay styles: real-time overhead exploration and combat, alongside traditional turn-based random encounters where you command a party. Set in an Arabian Nights-inspired world, you travel across different time periods to recruit allies and defeat the evil wizard Sabaron.
How to Play
Your objective is to rescue Princess Scheherazade by traveling through time, battling enemies, and building a party of allies. Standard NES controls apply in the browser: use the arrow keys (D-pad) to move and navigate menus, Z (A) to attack or confirm, X (B) to use items or cancel, Enter (Start) to pause or view status, and Shift (Select) for secondary menus.
Tips
- Time Travel Puzzles: Pay attention to how the different eras connect. Actions you take in a past time period can have direct consequences when you visit the same location in the future.
- Party Combinations: In turn-based encounters, forming the right party combination allows for powerful cooperative magic attacks. Experiment with different allies to discover these synergies.
