Babylonian Twins - An unreleased Amiga game from 1993 has finally appeared with an eye opening backstory.

Well, it's been some time since we've featured an unreleased game, so here we are with Iraq's very first Amiga video game, Babylonian Twins. A game that has officially been released for free on the Commodore Amiga, closing a tumultuous three-decade journey. The platformer was originally forged under gruelling conditions in 1993 Baghdad by three determined students—Rabah Shihab, Murtadha Salman, and Mahir AlSalman—who worked through strict international sanctions, scorching 50°C summer heatwaves that repeatedly broke their hardware, and severe rolling blackouts.
