About the Game

After the first version of “Ali Mardan’s Mischief” ends with a happy ending with the marriage of Khan Daei, the second version the story is resumed from the Khan Daei’s honeymoon where he and his wife are on a carriage along with Ali Mardan and other family members. Then, we see the carriage entering the “Pashmak Abad” Space Station when we realize that Khan Daei plans to go to the moon for his honeymoon!!! Ali Mardan begins his usual naughty behavior, leading to his fall from the spaceship into a black hole where, based on some unknown scientific equations he finds himself in the Middle Ages. There, he realizes that Merlin, the great wizard of Britain, has gone to fight the wicked Morgana, without leaving any trace. In her absence, the Wizard of Oz deals with the city affairs. However, Ali Mardan lands just on the courier’s head, steals the letter of credit and passes himself as the Wizard Baby of Oz! Thus, in an intriguing adventure, Ali Mardan seeks to solve the mystery of the missing Merlin, the curse of the wicked Morgana, and of course bringing Excalibur to King Arthur…
