How Arabian Magic Plays
Prince Rassid, Princess Lisa, Sinbad and Afshaal, each armed with their own special magic and powers, set out on the quest for the Jewel of Seven Colors in order to restore a peace to the kingdom. The four player characters have the ability to summon a huge genie. Guardians, once defeated, will join the player and become a spirit you can summon using the same button as the genie.
The genie only stays on screen for a moment, but can be indirectly controlled to attack enemies with powerful blows. It was included in Taito Legends 2 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. Each guardian, once defeated, will drop a jewel which forms a part of the Jewel of Seven Colors.
