Arabian Magic sets its action in a world inspired by One Thousand and One Nights: up to four simultaneous players choose between Prince Lassid, Princess Lisa, Sinbad, or Afshael, each with their signature weapon, and advance through seven stages beating enemies until reaching a guardian who, once defeated, drops a jewel from the "Jewel of the Seven Colors." It runs on the Taito F3 board, the same hardware family that supported other action titles from the studio in those years.
It was overshadowed by more remembered beat 'em ups of the era, but it's a solid representative of the genre with its own colorful aesthetic, and was later rescued as part of the Taito Legends 2 compilation.
