Arabian Nights (1993-Krisalis) where are the 100% ???????

[Lewis]

A question for all Amiga lovers, I played the game Arabian Nights (1993 -Krisalis) many times, I played it in the 90's, I could never get 100% on the first level, I don't know if it's a programming error or what the game takes into account to give its percentage.
I spent hours and hours exploring looking for secret walls and things like that, just a few days ago I looked for a version with a trainer and I put everything in, so I wouldn't die and I could check every corner even on fire, acid and nothing, I still can't find what I'm missing, now that I'm old the same as when I played it when I was young.

it seems the maximum is 79% or so,at least that's what they achieved in the YouTube walkthroughs
it seems that something is hidden that most ppl don't know about

[ransom1122]

1 video on YT shows 88%
I too haven't seen 100% yet.
Could difficulty setting be the reason why it's impossible to get 100% on normal?

Or it's some of those bonus rooms from the large pots that no one has gone into..

Hol maps shows all the bonus rooms

[kremiso]

there are two versions of the game (on disks)
wondering if something change between them, this case related

[ransom1122]

I had an in depth play, and with all these secrets it takes you to 88%










hmmmm...

@3:47 Dan mention's it isnt possible to achieve 100%

If we could contact someone who developed that game maybe we could get answers how those % are counted. I was interested in it too. I manage to get 86-96% with collecting every gem, item, lamp from secret room, try to step on every platform and do not get hit.

The coder's home page from 2002 is still up: https://spashley.tripod.com/index.html
You can also find his (old) email address on HOL.

I tried again walked on all platforms, didnt get hit, and got same 88%

this could also be
on options it is also possible to lower hitpoints, and lives

EDIT just found a similar thread

tried it on hard, same result...

Also tried to enable wwarp mode in winuae at the end of level 1, to see if time is a factore on a lwoer % but its not..


that 2nd door/gate doesnt open, out of the 3 there, maybe issue with that?

[kremiso]

here i have just tried to raise the score (20000) before exit the level, killing more respawing enemies i mean, but that seems useless in the percentage count

i was playing hard level, 2 hitpoints and 3 lives - min settings
got 88% also here

[ransom1122]

Yeah same here... killing re spawned enemies, or walking in on all areas doesn't change %

Maybe there's a secret no one knows?

[zenox98]

Maybe a job for Jotd and his magic resource/disassembling skills.

Hello, thanks for participating!
I know the secrets of the images, but I never got to 100% and there are even percentage variations doing the same thing.
If there is any other secret, in my opinion it has to be in the teleport vases, but I have tried many combinations in them and have not obtained anything.

If this is not game bug, or very good hidden part.
Then it can be disk space limit.
And the only full version, can be CD32 version of Arabian Nights.
From my memory some CD32 versions are enhanced compared to disk version, f.e Soccer Kid and Brian the Lion.

yes some krisalis games have been enhanced for the CD32 with audio tracks as legends and soccer kid and more levels in the case of brian the lion

but is not the case of arabian nights in which I don't see any enhancements

anyways if anyone could try the CD32 version of arabian nights to see if reach 100% in the 1st level
also I have a floppy version which says version 1.01 - 12 may 1993 but the CD32 version says 25 oct 1993 so was compiled later
