About this game

Iznogoud is a 1987 action-adventure game based on the French comic book character. As Grand Vizier Iznogoud, your goal is to depose the Caliph of magical Baghdad and become “Caliph instead of the Caliph!”

Explore the world, interact with its characters, and acquire objects that may help advance your plans. You can give objects, threaten, flatter, or throw a tantrum, with each character reacting differently—or not at all. Choosing the wrong actions may leave Iznogoud in a cell beneath the palace, while the right combination can bring him closer to his ambition.
