The ground will turn to dirt,
And the sea will lose its shine.

known as Grandol...
There was a time when demons had taken Grandol,

and the Demon Rain started to fall.
The wicked power of the Demon Rain
changed the nature of Grandol.

a castle appeared atop the clouds...

where long ago the fragments of the Miracle Gem
were sealed with fifteen demons.

The game is divided into chapters; each one describes an episode from Ali-Baba's "career", from train robbery to treasure hunt and even discovery of the magic lamp .
The game is a humorous "light" Japanese-style RPG - there is no world map, and most of the time the hero is taken to a new location automatically. Many locations have simple puzzles to solve, and some dungeon areas are maze-like. The gameplay system is nearly identical to that of Gensei Kitan, with the same interface and overall structure. Random enemies are fought in turn-based style, on a side-view battle screen. Characters use physical attacks, special techniques, and magical spells. As in all Gensei games, HP, SP, and MP are full
