Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon description

Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon - adventure game from Cinemaware, the Creator of Defender of the Crown, Arabic theme, sort of a combination of the arcade component with strategic aspects in which the player is given almost complete freedom of action.

The background of the events described in the game is this:

After years of sea wandering, seen many amazing things and amazing countries, with the excitement of Sinbad returns to the legendary Damaron, island Kingdom, where he spent his childhood. But the reason for his return is sad. Who called him to his native land a jewel is a priceless gift from the Caliph Damaron'a - became a messenger of trouble, handing the plea for help from Princess Sulpnari, daughter of the Caliph.

Evil forces have turned the Caliph into a Falcon, and while the troops of Prince Camarat'a (it is also called the Black Prince) drain the surrounding land, the Caliph has no ability to rule the Kingdom, nor to appoint his successor. This magic of turning a threat and that the longer the Caliph remains in the guise of a Falcon, the less likely that he will again become a man. The spell can only remove the shaman from the Western tribes, who have to find Sinbad, at the same time he will command the army Damaron'a, ensuring the safety of their home Kingdom.

Some of the features of the game. Upon arrival at Damaron find yourself in front of a road sign with the help of the movement of the hero on the game screen. From time to time you will meet characters with whom to talk, and the outcome of the conversation will depend on you, from several variants of questions/answers you can choose only one. In essence, freedom of movement and player-selected branch of the conversation is the freedom of action, as discussed above.

When you step into the port (arrow on the sign "Port") is the ability to recruit to the ship, and depending on how many volunteers will be typed, depending on which of the cities can swim. Possible areas indicated in the captain's log, after selecting the destination should be short and simple arcade part (to make an effort not to crash on the reefs, alternating between them).

On the belt of Sinbad has a compass, which opens a map with the location of the troops (and your rampaging in the district of the army of the Black Prince), - this map will have to pay attention. Located in the middle of the map the Palace must be protected at all costs. From time to time, this map will force you to appear to indicate changes in the balance of power. Also you will be available and the map of the Islands.

Traveling to location is not just possible to stumble on the evil creatures to defeat and some will have to develop your tactics of battle, if not help - take tenacity and perseverance.

Also lacks the ability to survive. The slightest miscalculation - and the end of the game.

Character control is very simple - will be involved only arrows to move and space key, which is used to talk about in the fight, to confirm any actions.

To top it off, I want to add that the transfer of games from Commodore 64 on a PC, unfortunately, affect the schedule and not for the better.
