History Pinball / TalesOfTheArabianNights

* BareYourMidriff[=/=]BedlahBabe: The player's ''jinn'' and the princess.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Shoot the magic lamp on the playfield to send it spinning and build magic power.

* EasterEgg[=/=]EverythingsBetterWithCows: When entering the Bazaar, quickly press both flippers. The fourth time, the merchant will give you a cow worth 1 million points.

"In ancient Baghdad, a most beautiful princess was imprisoned by the evil genie Saleem Bagazi..."

The game centers around an evil blue genie who has kidnapped and imprisoned an Arabian princess; the player is her betrothed, who valiantly sets off to [[SaveThePrincess rescue her.]] With his enchanted scimitar, Aladdin's magic lamp, and his own benevolent ''jinn'', the player must venture into the seven ''[[Literature/ArabianNights Tales of the Arabian Nights]]'' and retrieve a magic jewel from each one. Rub the lamp for magical power, sneak through the harem, and visit the bazaar for useful treasures, but be on the alert for the genie's fireballs. If the player manages to get all seven jewels, he can fight through the genie's skeletal warriors before confronting the scoundrel in a fast-moving battle for the princess.

* BlueIsHeroic: Averted, as the evil genie is blue while the player's Jinn is not.

* RidingIntoTheSunset: Defeat the evil genie, and the princess and the hero are shown riding into the sunset on a FlyingCarpet.

* WizardMode: "Genie Battle", which is only available after getting all seven jewels. The player must first fight through the genie's skeletal soldiers by shooting the Golden Symbols on the playfield. After defeating them, a four-ball multiball starts, and the video display shows the trapped princess between the genie and the player. Shoot the Symbols ''quickly'' to rescue the princess, defeat the genie, and collect a 20 million point bonus.

* {{Fireballs}}: The evil genie throws these at the player from time to time. Throw it back at him for a bonus.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard[=/=]TennisBoss: Invoked by hitting the genie with the fireball (pinball) he throws at you.

* SuperSmoke: Done by both the evil genie and the player's ''jinn''.

* PinballScoring: Averted, as ''Arabian Nights'' avoids the score inflation of most other pinballs of its time. A total of 50 million points is considered a great game.

'''''jinn:''''' "A thousand apologies."

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig Zagged]], as with a certain very specific exploit, you can take Harem Multiball into the Genie Battle. As Harem Multiball is a frenzy (all switches score a certain amount), the frenzy amount increases with each hit to the pop bumpers and you have unlimited balls until you either rescue the princess or the genie seizes her, scores can get quite silly if you use this exploit and run Genie Battle long enough. A similar effect can be achieved by bringing 3x Lightning Lamp into the Genie Battle.
