Here on Indie Retro News we do love writing about the Amiga, especially with all the fabulous games that have been created using Amos, Backbone, RedPill or even Scorpion Engine. Well now it's the Atari ST's turn to get a rather decent game, as carlesoriol has recently announced the release of Babaliba. A conversion of the classic Dinamic game, that he said was created just for fun as he loved the game back in the day.

Hi guys. I've made a remake of the old classic ZX Spectrum game from Dinamic BABALIBA for the amazing computer Atari ST. Get it at: https://t.co/NTldLtIcmH@Indie_RetroNEWS @mundospectrum @atari @AtariSTFan pic.twitter.com/XqDZ6jjrRn

And here is the latest from the developer with further information linked below. "I’m an '80s kid, and Babaliba was one of the first ZX Spectrum games I ever owned. It was not the best game ever—it had nasty sprite movement (compared to titles by Ultimate), and horrible music—but I loved it. It will always stay in my memories alongside Ant Attack, Manic Miner, Tornado Low Level, and Atic Atac. I remember playing it on a black-and-white TV with my 48k ZX Spectrum and being fascinated when I finally got a color TV; seeing the amazing colors of the gardens and flowers was incredible. I wanted to convert this game for my beloved Atari ST, and here it is. I initially started working in Assembly, but it was too much work, so I switched to C."

"I hope you enjoy my conversion. It was made with lots of love, lots of flowers , and INCREDIBLY BIG NOSES. "
