''Master of the Lamps'' is one of the first music video games. It was inspired by tales compiled in ''One Thousand and One Nights''. Activision published the game in 1985 for several home computer systems. In ''Master of the Lamps'', the death of an Arabian prince's father, the king, shatters three enchanted oil lamps, freeing the three genies trapped within. The genies overrun the palace; to contain them, the prince must reassemble the three broken lamps. The player, in the role of the prince wearing a white thawb and red keffiyeh, must journey into the seven dens of each genie, as each den contains one of the lamp pieces. ==Gameplay== 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.〔 Once in the den, the second mode, the player strikes a gong thrice to summon the genie. The genie draws from a hookah, and blows out a ball of smoke. From the smoke emerges a sequence of tones, which the player must repeat in a call-and-response pattern. In order to play a tone, the player must strike the corresponding gong. If the player strikes the incorrect gong, or strikes the correct gong too early, the genie's magic transports the prince to the beginning of the tunnel.〔 In the seven dens of the first genie, each tone is audible, and manifests as a colored quaver (eighth note) that floats toward the ground. In the seven dens of the second genie, the tone is inaudible, so the player must match the color of the note to the color of the corresponding gong. In the seven dens of the third genie, the tone is audible, but no note appears; the player must recognize the note's pitch, and strike the correct gong.〔 When the player passes the trial, a gateway to another tunnel opens. After passing the musical trials of the three genies, the player navigates one final tunnel to the palace.〔 If the player succeeds, the prince reclaims the palace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Master of the Lamps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
