Play Magic Of Scheherazade Online

Magic of Scheherazade came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 from Culture Brain. It was one of those NES games that tried to blend different genres, mixing action with turn-based strategy in a way that felt ambitious for its time.

You control a magician traveling across five different time periods in ancient Arabia. Your main goal is to defeat the evil wizard Sabaron, who has kidnapped Princess Scheherazade. The game shifts between two main styles of play: screen by screen exploration with real-time sword combat, and random encounters that switch to a turn-based, party versus party battle system. You can choose from three character classes, like Fighter or Magician, each with unique spells and abilities that help in both exploration and fights. The pacing can feel uneven, with some difficult dungeons and a need to grind for experience, but moving between time periods keeps the journey interesting. Playing it feels like navigating a large, sometimes unpredictable adventure where your strategy needs to shift on the fly.
