Culture Brain
"The Magic of Scheherazade" was developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (Famicom in Japan) by Culture Brain. A person working under the pseudonym "Akademiya Yumenosuke" was the game's producer, according to a "Weekly Famitsu" interview. Composers Akinori Sawa and Shunichi Mikame worked as its composers. Sawa worked primarily on Culture Brain's "Hiryū no Ken" series. Mikame had previously composed the scores for both "Kung Fu Heroes" and "". His musical equipment consisted of two polyphonic synthesizers, a frequency modulation synthesizer, and a hardware sequencer. Compositions were recorded to audio cassette and then simplified to the Famicom's programmable sound generator, once approved by the producer. Only three of the six songs Mikame composed were used in game, and he left the company before its Japanese release.
