'''Arabian''' is not a very well known arcade game.  It was developed by [[SunSoft]] (who was known as Sun Electronics at the time), and licensed to [[Atari]] for distribution in the United States.  Arabian was the second game that Atari licensed from SunSoft, the first being the much more popular [[Kangaroo]].

Arabian follows in the vein of [[Donkey Kong]] presenting the player with four distinct play fields that contain ladders and moving platforms. The player's one and only goal is to collect every bag of gold scattered throughout the stage.  The bags happen to have a letter painted on them which, if collected in the corrected order, will spell out "ARABIAN". The player is also awarded a bonus if he manages to collect them in just that order. Enemies come in the form of pink blobs and black crows, and your only weapon against them is your mighty kick.  Enemies can be kicked into one another for bonus points.
