Master of the Lamps is one of the first music video games. It was inspired by tales compiled in One Thousand and One Nights.
Gameplay alternates between two modes. In the first, the prince maneuvers a flying carpet through a winding tunnel to a genie's den. In practice, this requires the player to direct the carpet over diamond-shaped gates as they appear; failure to do so returns the prince to the beginning of the tunnel

As absolutely beautiful as this was, in terms of both Look and Sound, and surprisingly tight the controls were during the magic carpet parts, I can't claim to love the magic carpet riding sequences nor even the memorization "music/rhythm" segments. The magic carpet parts are like those levels in Crash 3 I always loathed, or the Quidditch part in the PS1 Sorcerer's Stone game, etc. And the music/rhythm parts were really just memorization segments. Still, great concept and beautiful Look/Sound that probly warrants 3 stars considering I played through several rounds of this before the repetitiveness kicked in. hmmm. nah
