Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon

If Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon were a person, it would be that eccentric uncle who insists he once met a genie “for real.” This 1988 Arabian-fantasy adventure mixes arcade bits, exploration, and the occasional “wait, what am I supposed to do now?” moment. You roam a sun-baked realm, juggling quests, fending off enemies, and trying to prove that Sinbad’s life isn’t all carpets and cocktails. It’s clunky in a charming way, like an overstuffed storybook come to life, and half the fun is watching its ambition outrun the technology of the time—often with hilarious results.
