viddi · 28 August 2008, 13:25

Have you guys heard of Babylonian Twins?

I found these vids on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqyQ8BcPJA8

and so on...

It sounds and looks like an Amiga game and seems to be AWESOME!

viddi · 28 August 2008, 13:33

Okay, I read the info.

It is an Amiga game!

TCD · 28 August 2008, 13:34

Hmm, have a lookie here : http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=139&type=Poster
Other sources that it was a game developed in Iraq. I will search for more info now...

Belgarath · 28 August 2008, 13:36

Indeed and it looks very good.

The guy who posted the vids still seems to be active on there, hopefully he can be contacted and convinced to share if it can't be found otherwise.

TCD · 28 August 2008, 13:38

Here is one of the developers : http://members.tripod.com/murtadha_t/games_design.htm

It runs on a 512K Amiga? Very impressive indeed.

Here's hoping this can be released...

CodyJarrett · 28 August 2008, 14:02

I'm looking into it now!

Galahad/FLT · 28 August 2008, 14:47

Looks pretty ace actually.

Fingers crossed this gets a release!

gklinger · 28 August 2008, 14:54

That looks brilliant. I wonder how close to completion it was when the project was shelved?

I've already sent one too!

Belgarath · 28 August 2008, 14:58

From the description and videos on youtube it seems it was 100% completed, just never released.

Retro-Nerd · 28 August 2008, 15:30

Just got a mail from Murtadha. He was very pleased, but he doesn't have the game. So Murtadha gave me the address of his old friend Rabah, he could still have the disk images.

keropi · 28 August 2008, 15:37

WOW!
looks awesome!

Thanks for taking the lead Retro

I really hope you can manage to convince Rabah to share his disks if he still has the game.

viddi · 28 August 2008, 17:36

Yep, thanks a lot.

Old Fool · 28 August 2008, 17:54

Hmmm... Very interesting game idea indeed! To clear a level you have to play with two characters. It reminds somewhat Lost Vikings except there was three characters to play.

I think there is lack of games that two players would have to play together like we see in the video. For example to get a floating thingie you must jump to reach it on the top of other player. Sweet!

Also when palying with girlfriend it's fun to know that a pleasure could be your reward when you put your body on the top of the other!

Hail for the whole team behind that game. Extreme circumstances, and still they are creating somewhat special. Respect.

Shoonay · 28 August 2008, 19:47

wow, looks&sounds great indeed!
