Arabian is a 1983 arcade platform action game by Sun Electronics, set in a fantasy world inspired by One Thousand and One Nights. Players control a turbaned hero who must collect treasure across multi-screen stages while avoiding genies, mummies, and other hazards. Its colorful sprite work and early use of multi-screen platforming helped it stand out, and it is often remembered as an early example of the genre in arcades.

The game uses single-player side-scrolling platform gameplay built from linked screen sections. Players move, jump, and attack while collecting required treasure and avoiding enemies, pits, and stage hazards. Progress comes from clearing objectives in one area to advance to the next screen, with some sections emphasizing careful timing for jumps, drops, and movement across narrow platforms. The pace is straightforward but punishing, with repeated hazards demanding route memorization.

Hero

The turbaned protagonist controlled by the player, tasked with gathering treasure and surviving the journey.

Genies

Common enemy figures that pressure the player and block safe movement through stages.

Mummies

Hostile monsters appearing in some areas to create timing and positioning challenges.

Learn each screen layout and enemy spawn pattern before rushing for treasure. Use short, controlled jumps to avoid overshooting platforms, and keep an escape path open when moving through tight areas. If an enemy cluster is blocking progress, wait for a safer opening rather than forcing a risky jump.

Simple controls, but the multi-screen design makes it an interesting early arcade platformer.
