Role-playing (RPG)Adventure

Fantasy

This forgotten gem of the early 90s fused Arabian Nights fantasy with the action-RPG formula. Combat in Al-Qadim was a ballet of swordplay and acrobatic maneuvers, demanding precise timing for parries and ripostes. The game's open-ended quest design and emphasis on player choice, coupled with a rich tapestry of Middle Eastern folklore, created a vibrant world that stands out even today.

About Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse

Details
As the youngest son of a Noble Merchant, an easy life lay before you. But the call of adventure beckoned, and so, you left your home for a life of action and danger. Sea serpents, storms and tattered sails have all proved perilous as the years passed. You've taken ships and defeated fiends, at the side of your instructor, the Master Corsair Sinbar. But your thoughts always return to Kara, the Caliph's beautiful daughter. It is for her you devote your skill and honors. And it will be her hand in marriage that will be your reward for attaining your goal of becoming a Corsair. Your adventure begins now, on the hidden isle where Sinbar tests his pupils.
