     "One day peaceful Arabia was attacked by the demons. The evil magician
Sabaron summoned them from the dark world for his evil desire. One brave
magician attempted to fight him. But he failed, and his sweetheart was taken
and all his memories erased. He was even thrown into a different time period.
Do you remember this? The young magician is you. Only you can save Arabia.
Please fight Sabaron again!"

********************

     When you turn on the game, you will have the choice of changing the text
speed (Slow, Normal, Fast). Always put the speed on Fast. To start, press
"START". To enter a password, press "CONTINUE". After you press "START", you
will be able to enter a name with 1 to 4 letters. After that, the story will
begin. When Coronya asks for your help, answer "YES" (duh!). You will then be
able to select your Arabian Class (don't worry- you can change your class in
the game):

      Fighter: Your strongest weapon will be your sword. [Easy Mode]

      Saint: I have no idea. It lets you do something in Chapter 3. [Hard Mode]

      Magician: Your strongest weapon will be your rod. [Normal Mode]

     After you choose your class, you will take your first trip through the
Time Door and Chapter 1 will begin...

"Let's start now!"

     You will enter a mosque and talk to an old man:

You will depart to defeat Sabaron, won't you?" [Answer "YES"] "Sabaron took
away the great Arabian King Feisal and his four princesses. Yes, your
sweetheart Princess Scheherazade, too. [Your Name], find Sabaron and defeat
him. You're the only hope for Arabia. You can do it! First talk to the town
people. Press the Start Button. Then, select 'SPEAK' and talk to people with
the B Button. Now, go. Good luck!"
     You will leave the mosque and start out in the first town, Meshudo. You

1: There is a water trap right when you enter the room. Don't fall in.
2: The northern door of this room will lock once you leave the room. If you
want to go back, you will need a key.
3: Use the Horn against one of the statues.

     When you enter the Water Demon Gilga's lair, 8 eyes will appear. They will
slowly open and close. To kill them, shoot each one twice with your Rod while
they are wide open. Be careful- the eyes will use a thunder attack that takes
away 10 HP per hit. After you defeat the 8 eyes, you will be transported to
another room. In this room, there are 3 big eyes. They shoot fireballs at you.
Each eye takes about 8-10 hits from your rod. Kill one eye at a time. After you
kill the eyes, Chapter 1 is over :]

     "I'm the Princess Ashelato. Thank you very much, [Your Name]. Please save
my father and my little sisters, too." [Lightning flashes]
     "Ha,ha,ha- I am the great magician Sabaron. You have defeated Gilga. I
admire you, kid. But you still have to fight many demons before me. You can
challenge me, but you will die. If you don't stay alert, your sweetheart the
Princess Scheherazade will fall victim to the demon. Ha,ha,ha-"

*  6. Magic Field Locations  *
******************************

     In this game, there are secret areas called Magic Fields. They are usually
accessed by using Oprin. During an Alalart Solar Eclipse, you can plant a Rupia
Seed (R.Seed) at these places. When you go back to the area in the future, you
can harvest the Rupias from the Rupia Tree. Here are the locations of the Magic

*  7. Level-Up Guide  *
***********************

     Throughout the game, whenever you kill an enemy in the overworld or the
turn-based battles, you get Experience Points (EP). When you reach a certain
number, you "level up". When you level up, your Max HP and Max MP go up and you
sometimes learn a spell. Sometimes, the power of your Rod or Sword will go up,
too. In each Chapter, you can only reach a certain level (Chapter 1: Level 5;
Chapter 2: Level 10; Chapter 3: Level 15; Chapter 4: Level 20; Chapter 5 Level
25). Here is a table that shows what you get when you level up:

      LEVEL   EP     HP   MP   SPELL    POWER INCREASE

      1       0      50   16   OPRIN
      2       20     58   20   PAMPOO
      3       80     66   52   BOLTTOR1    SWORD
