Developed by SunSoft and released in 1983, Super Arabian is a classic arcade-style action platformer for the NES. Players control an Arabian prince on a quest to rescue a princess, navigating through castles, caves, and sailing ships. The game combines standard platforming with score-attack elements, requiring players to strategically climb vines, ride magic carpets, and outmaneuver roaming creatures.
How to Play
The objective in each stage is to collect all the lettered jugs scattered across the level. Collecting them in the correct order to spell the target word awards a significant point bonus. You can defend yourself from enemies by kicking them away. Use the Arrow keys to move and climb, press X (A button) to jump, and Z (B button) to kick. Press Enter to start.
Tips
- Collecting the letter jugs in the exact order that spells the target word at the top of the screen grants a large bonus, but isn’t strictly necessary to clear the stage.
- Kicking enemies is useful for defense, but they will respawn. Focus primarily on reaching the jugs rather than clearing the screen.
- When riding magic carpets, time your jumps carefully so you don’t miss the vines or platforms above you.
