When the game starts, you will find Sinbad at the bottom of the screen. In the air float evil snakes and, of course, the flying carpet. You have to guide Sinbad on his mission to convert all the evil enemies. You convert the enemy by touching them but beware, if you touch a convert again, it will knock you down to decrease your energy. If you manage to convert all the snakes without bumping too many times, you go on to a journey through an asteroid storm!

The asteroids come hurtling towards you so you must control the carpet to avoid direct collision with one. When you manage to come out of this, the process is repeated, again and again. The game ends when your energy goes down to zero.

The fast flicker-free graphics are good and the asteroids increasing in size as they come hurtling towards you is especially impressive. Most important of all, this game is totally original. Unfortunately, this does not mean that the game itself is brilliant. In fact, it becomes repetitive and boring.

Coupled with the fact that neither the energy nor the score is shown on the screen when the game is being played and there are no extra options such as sound on/off, freeze or quit, Sinbad cannot be highly recommended.
