Arabian Fight[a] is a scrolling beat 'em up video game released in arcades by Sega in 1992 (the displayed copyright year is 1991).
The gameplay is similar to many beat 'em up games of the generation, and to Sega's other side-scrolling beat 'em ups Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, using three action buttons, one to punch, one to kick and one for a special attack, in this case, magic based, similar to Golden Axe special attacks.
[4] The corrupt Sheikh Sazabiss has abducted Princess Lurana, and he is utilizing every unscrupulous means of power he has at his disposal to achieve his ultimate ambition of conquering the world.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Arabian Fight on their May 1, 1992 issue as being the seventh most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
[5] Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 criticized the gameplay for "mediocrity" but praised the graphics, stating "Arabian Fight might be the most technically ambitious 2D beat-em-up ever made" and said the game's background parallax effects were more advanced than Guardian Heroes (1996) for the Sega Saturn.
