What really kills it, though, is the dopey, lusting look on the would-be prince each time he senses the opportunity to shag yet one more princess on his wedding night. In the visions you get of them doing erotic dances, most of the princesses of course wear almost nothing, and since this is a French game “almost nothing” means their nipples are shining through their transparent lingerie.

He even wears the exact same clothes as the protagonist in the Macintosh versions of the 2D Prince of Persia games – but then again, the same colors are also worn by the hero of Magic Carpet, so maybe it’s a more pervasive cliché among game developers.Īrabian Nights, however, shows the Middle East how it “really” was, so of course the hero is named Ali, and he is not only scheduled to marry his beloved Melisse, but promised by the Sultan the hands of all his five daughters to assemble a proper harem and inherit the throne, if only he manages to rescue them all from the – of course – evil Grand Vizier, who’s scheming to take over the sultanate. Like Prince of Persia, Arabian Nights stars an average dude who’s on a quest to rescue and marry a princess in order to become prince. After Red Orb Entertainment failed with their official attempt at a 3D Prince of Persia game, the guys at the somewhat schlocky French developer Silmarils ( Ishar, Robinson’s Requiem) apparently thought they could do better.
