Babylonian Twins - An Amiga game?! - Page 13

Cammy · 02 January 2010, 11:04

Good Amiga games have the option for both (up to jump or button 2 to jump), to make everyone happy! I certainly would always give the user the option to choose in any game I make.

For the Amiga Fans

We thank you for your countless emails and support. Many of you have expressed interest in purchasing the Amiga version when its available. Since there is no self-publishing platform for the Amiga, we are planning to self-publish the game in a nice collectable packaging and make it available for purchase online. We hope we can finance this project through iPhone sales, so please help us spread the word about this game and the legendary Amiga.

Sounds great. The site is updated now.

I already sent them the email with the question:

"Did you do any investigation how much the Amigans would like to spend for boxed Babylonian Twins?"

Me personally, would give for it 20-30 USD, if the box would be nice and consist the manual. What do you think about that price? Too much? Too less?

Retro-Nerd · 02 January 2010, 21:53

I think 20 US$ would be fair enough for a boxed version.

Predseda · 02 January 2010, 21:56

BTW: I wonder what type of media would they use for distribution. CD probably?

Those guys deserve to make money from this game when you consider the risks that were taken when it was being developed.

So yes, I too would pay US$20 for a boxed version of Babylonian Twins, so long as the box is designed not to get crushed in transit.

My boxed copy of AmigaOS 4.0 was crushed flat when I received it!

Yes, I would think so.

Price is o.k. from my point of view

TCD · 04 January 2010, 14:07

It's good to see the updated site

Will surely buy my copy once it's released and I hope the price will be around 20$.

Predseda · 04 January 2010, 14:46

I am afraid for 20 bucks there wouldnt be even an empty box

AmigaBoy · 04 January 2010, 15:10

I commend these guys for what they have achieved. I don't recall if the demo played well or not (it's been way too long to remember), but doing what they did is something special. I also commend them for trying to make money from the game. They've put in the time, so why not be rewarded for it? With that said, I won't be buying the game.

My point of view, which I have no doubt will make me a few enemies, is that I can't see myself spending money on it. Yes, it's a "new" game, and I'm sure it's going to be packaged and presented well, but buying Amiga games is something I don't do anymore. I'm not saying I pirate new titles, nor do I condone the practice, but I won't buy a new Amiga game. If that means I'll never get to play it, so be it.

I truly hope that in addition to the game that you can buy, a full version will also be made downloadable for free. The likelihood is that even if it was free, I'll play it for 1 hour and put it away never to be played again. Real life prevents me from spending too much time playing games nowadays, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't like the option of booting it up on occasion.

My memory is hazy, so I'm sure I'm leaving out a few details, but I seem to recall the Metal Warrior games on the C64 (or at least, the later ones), have both a pay and a free version. I seem to recall it did well enough in sales that they even had a "limited edition" version of one of them.

Those of us that are going to buy a game will buy it regardless of whether or not there's a free version, while those of us that never had any intention of buying will probably never buy it.

Anyway, best of luck.

It's being ported to the Xbox so hopefully the PS3 will also see a release

Retro-Nerd · 04 January 2010, 16:23

Of course, it is everyone's decision. I also think buying new game for obsolete platform is a bit crazy, but I collect games and I will be glad to support this project with my money.

I have no problem with forking out $20 US

Its an AMIGA GAME! that NONE of us have played from start to finish and its QUALITY! A chance like this will probably never come again for us so paying for it need not be questioned, plus those guys busted their arses to make it! so!!!.... lets ALL pay for it and NO-ONE get a non legit copy!

Predseda · 05 January 2010, 11:36

Everyone should get his copy dedicated and so mentioned his name in the startup - titles in the game intro
