Episode 70

The Magic of Scheherazade is one of the most ambitious 8-bit video games ever created. It seamlessly blends the action and exploration of The Legend of Zelda with the turn based battles of Dragon Warrior!

Even more impressive are this game's similarities to Chrono Trigger - You'll travel through time, making changes in the past to fix the future! You'll find tons of weird characters to join your team with, and you'll form 3 person parties in battle, and some combinations of characters even have special fusion abilities when teamed together - All in a game released SEVEN YEARS before Chrono Trigger existed.

Even more interesting is the game's unique setting - the world of Ancient Arabia as told in the 1001 Arabian Nights stories. We'll travel through five unique kingdoms as we battle to rescue the world from the terrible demons conjured by the evil Magician Sabaron.

So how did this strange but spectacular game make its way to North America, and what changes were made along the way? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
