Cyberlore Studios released Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse for IBM PC MS-DOS 5.0 Protected mode run-time v1.96 in 1994. Al-Qadim features seamless transition and screen-scrolling in top-down perspective.
The AD&D-based Arabian Nights-inspired Al-Qadim is set in TSR's Al-Qadim campaign setting of 1992.

In addition, there are NPCs and dialogue selections.
Al-Qadim was designed by Herb Perez and programmed by Ken Grey.
