	Software News : Unreleased/Upcoming Amiga game demo - Babylonian Twins
	posted by Cammy on 9-Oct-2008 4:26:24 (4742 reads)

Hi everyone. For those who don't know, there's a new game demo for you to download and play on your Amigas/UAE. It should run on any Amiga with 1MB RAM, maybe even 512K. If you install it on an AGA Amiga, boot up in ECS mode to play it, or boot from floppy. So, download the demo, play it, and give your feedback on the website. Show these guys your support and play their fantastic game. Hopefully we can convince them to release the full game!

About Babylonian Twins:

Babylonian Twins is a platform computer game that was originally developed for the Commodore Amiga between 1993 and 1994 but was never released due to the demise of Commodore. The game was developed in Baghdad-Iraq during the difficult economic sanctions period. The game is considered to be the first commercial game ever developed in Iraq and that region.

The author, main programmer and project lead is Rabah Shihab, at that time, a student at the computer engineering department at Baghdad University. He developed the game with his friends Murtadha Salman, a talented artist and a student at the Architecture department at Baghdad University, and Mahir Hisham, a talented musician and a medical student at the same university.

The game was developed using only one Amiga 500 computer, with mostly 500KB of memory and no hard drive. It was written entirely in MC68000 assembly language with direct programming of the Amiga custom chip set. A custom map editor was developed to design the game levels.

Just a question, the game remind me ( for the graphics, animation, scrolling.. ) superfrog, does it use the same engine ?

Just curios

I am shocked that it was posted on YouTube in 1997!!

"In 1997, videos of the game was posted on YouTube and in August 2008, links of the videos were posted on the English Amiga Board where it was well received by the loyal Amiga community."

Looks quite nice, very impressive to see a game from that territory made during those years.
Now give it a proper release and I will certainly consider buying it.

I donwloaded it, and it I liked it, but I need the tricks or cheaps because it is very difficult, but the graphics and the game are ver very goods, we must send mails to them for that they will finish the game and hurry them, Amiga is universal without to depend the politicians minds and other things, Amiga without frontiers.
