Arabian Nights is a platform game launched for the Amiga in 1993 by Krisalis Software. Originally, the title was distributed on two floppy disks and subsequently released on CD for the Amiga CD32. The development of the game was handled by Visiware Studios.

In this title, players assume the role of Sinbad Junior, a gardener who witnesses a princess being abducted by a dragon. When he attempts to save her, Sinbad himself is captured and falsely accused of witchcraft and kidnapping, leading to his imprisonment.

Gameplay

The adventure begins within prison dungeons where players must maneuver through various hazards and evade guards across nine distinct levels. A hint mechanism is available, indicated by a light bulb icon that appears on screen; pressing the space bar activates helpful tips or warnings.

Throughout the stages, secret entrances can be uncovered by crouching and attacking at particular points, often subtly integrated into the background scenery. These hidden passages contain stage-specific currencies—such as gems in the prison level and coins in the forest—that players can use to purchase vital items from non-playable characters (NPCs) necessary for advancing.

The gameplay incorporates diverse challenges including piloting a magic carpet and competing against an adversary in a mine cart race through underground tunnels.
